We love a good pregnancy reveal story, and the fact that this one takes place at 10,000 metres makes it all the sweeter.

Mum-to-be Lisa Sadiwynk recently boarded a plane from Las Vegas to Philadelphia with her husband, and she decided it was high (geddit?) time to let him know he was due to become a dad.

After doing the usual announcements about flight time and weather, the American Airlines pilot on Lisa and Eric's plane told the passengers it was "time to have a little fun."

Calling out Eric's seat number and name, he then explained what was going on.

"Well Eric although you didn’t strike it rich here in Las Vegas you did hit the jackpot. Congratulations, you’re about to be a dad!"

How sweet?! And the moment Eric starts to cry just before the video ends is truly gorgeous.

Lisa's video has already racked up 35,000 views on Facebook, and she says she's hoping to track down some of the plane crew again to thank them properly.

Watch it in full here:

Here's a MUST WATCH! A few weeks ago, my husband Eric Sadiwnyk got quite the surprise on our returning flight from Las…

The Love What Matters Facebook page always manages to give us a smile (or a tear) with its wonderful array of personal stories about love and family, sent in by people from all over the world.

One post in particular, which went up last night, has already racked up close to a million likes, despite being one of the simplest stories ever shared on the page.

The picture, taken in a shopping mall, shows an elderly couple leaning over a make-up display.

"This husband was helping his wife choose a make-up that matched her skin tone," the photographer explains. 

"She was so concerned about finding the right one and he was so unbelievably helpful. She was having a 'girl' moment, in a panic struggling to find the right one.

"He calmed her down, helped her find her colour and kissed her on the forehead.

"It was such a simple way to show how big his love was for her. A perfect reminder that our bodies grow old but our love doesn't have to."

If you're not crying after seeing that post, we guarantee you will be after reading some of the 65,000 comments posted below it, from other people sharing their own experiences of true love:

Amazing.

Us Irish are a pretty good at doing the odd impression or two, but this man just blew us all out of the bag.

Brian Rogers took to his own Facebook page at the beginning of the week to share a video of him doing impersonations.

A few impressions with the Election Candadates and Pascal

Posted by Brian Rodgers on Monday, 15 February 2016

But there were no movie stars or musicians in these impressions. No, Brian decided to do a whole load of Irish election candidates.

He impersonated RTE's Paschal Sheehy, Gerry Adams, Joan Burton and Enda Kenny without any hesitation. 

The party leaders debate was held on Monday in Limerick and Brian decided to do the video of what he imagined the outcome to be.

Fair play Brain, fair play.

A video showing an extremely young girl, drowned in a wedding gown and getting married in Lebanon is going viral today. 

The man and child, who are in fact actors, spark outrage amongst passers-by as many people are horrified by the youth of the girl being married. 

While this particular video is not real, it highlights the on-going and very real marriages of underage children that take place across the world everyday. 

Numerous people do a double-take of the odd couple, some take their picture and one man even calls the groom a "criminal".

"This is none of your business. I got permission from her parents," comes the reply of the older actor while the young girl stays mute. 

Worrying, other people stop to congratulate the couple on their big day. 

The video, which has raked up nearly 1.8 million views at the time of writing, was commissioned by KAFA– a group in Lebonan working to end violence and exploitation against children in the Middle East. 

According to the Telegraph, nearly 15 millions girls are forced into marriage every year and it is estimated that this amount will rise to 1.5 billion girls if nothing is done to counteract the absurd tradition. 

In certain areas of the Middle East, parents can give permission to marry off children as young as the age of nine while girls can marry without parental consent from the age of 14.

You'd be forgiven for having some post-Valentine's exhaustion today, given how many proposals, pictures of bouquets and #blessed statuses you had to wade through on Facebook over the weekend.

But before you swear off social media entirely, we insist you have a look at this gorgeous video from Westmeath mum Melanie Ní Beolláin, which is quickly going viral.

Melanie's son Brody wanted to share a little Valentine's love yesterday, and had his mam drop him over to his girlfriend's house with some gifts in tow.

Brody dropping off presents to his Valentine… Going to be such a gentleman

Posted by Melanie Ní Beolláin on Sunday, 14 February 2016

According to his proud mum, little Brody was "so nervous" before knocking on the door, despite being with his equally adorable girlfriend for "two years."

Since yesterday, Melanie's video has had almost 3,000 views and counting. We can see why, too – we challenge you not to watch Brody lean in for a cheeky hug without shedding a few tears of joy at your desk.

Happy (belated) Valentine's y'all.

We're not sure if this guy wants to cause controversy or whether he thought it would be 'OK' to write something like this, but it's sure to cause women everywhere outrage.

A disgruntled man decided to write a post on Facebook, describing how women look "horrible" after a night out when their make-up comes off.

Of course, his views are absolutely outrageous, and maaaany people have commented on the post since.

Here's what that man had to say:

Blood boiling with anger? Yes, us too.

And here's what some of his 'friends' on Facebook had to reply:

We hope he thinks twice before sharing his views next time.

Huddersfield Train Station recognises hard work and dedication in its employees, be they train drivers, cleaning staff or… cats.

Meet Felix, Huddersfield's new Senior Pest Controller. After starting out as the station's Official Mouse Catcher, Felix worked her way up through the ranks for five years, awaiting her time to shine.

Felix was just a few weeks old when a staff member donated her to the station to help control a rodent problem, and she's since made herself indispensable as the fluffiest, hungriest member of staff.

"Her daily duties include begging for food from passengers and colleagues," one employee told Love Meow. 

"Patrolling the platforms, occasionally making an appearance in the concourse. And chasing off the odd rodent. She has been known to wander down to Domino's Pizza when bored."

Felix's new role comes with much responsibility… and a high-vis jacket, of course.

"She still thinks she’s in charge of the whole station like always," a human colleague says.

Follow Felix's antics over on Facebook, where she already has over 2,500 likes. All in a day's work!

We thought Teresa Mannion had the upper hand when it came to hilarious weather-based videos, but this girl might be about to claim her title.

Vlogger Aimee Bannister headed down to her local beach in Wales to film what she thought would be a fun weather girl video – but it didn't quite go to plan.

Watch the full clip below, although we'd LOVE to know what happened afterwards.

Moral of the story is, don't head to Barry Island Beach during a storm, unless you want to be victimised by rogue sea creatures.

One mother did not hold back when describing the moment a sales assistant criticised the body shape of her young daughter in a viral Facebook post. 

The angry mum-on-a-mission describes how a simple shopping trip with her teenage daughter for a new dress ended in tears. 

It seems that the rude shop assistant did not think the teen could pull off a figure hugging gown without some extra help. 

Dear sales lady at Dillard's Towne East Mall, This is my teenage daughter who wanted to try on dresses for an upcoming…

Posted by Megan Naramore Harris on Wednesday, January 20, 2016

 

"You entered and told my daughter she needed to wear SPANX if she wanted to wear this dress," said the post aimed at the shop assistant in question. 

"I told my daughter to go change. I told you that she was just fine without SPANX. You continued to argue with me. We left soon after."

The post has already garnered over 450 thousand reactions as well as international media attention and the message of the post is pretty clear. 

"Girls of all ages, shapes and sizes are perfect. If they feel good in a dress, that is all that should matter.

"I hope this is shared and gets back to you so that you should not say something like that to a girl ever again. You never know what negative or positive thoughts they are thinking about themselves."

Hear hear!

When 15-year-old Trevor Sullivan opened his eyes for the first time after receiving a brand new heart, the relief and excitement on his face was palpable. 

How do we know? 

Because Trevor's dad caught the emotional moment on camera and the 42-second video has now gone viral all over the world. 

Trevor first became ill in 2014, before suffering heart failure in early 2015. 

The Michigan teen waited a year for his turn to be given a suitable new heart and despite the considerable risks, he came out the other end happy and healthy. 

"I'm so happy," says a very emotional Trevor in the clip. "I've been waiting so long. I can breath again."

The family released the video to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and this touching moment will most definitely have an impact.

If you're a dog person, you know it's hard to keep you cool even when you see a dog walk by on the street.

So, when this woman opened up a present for her birthday and there was a PUPPY inside, it's understandable that she could just not hold her chill.

We totally get her though. Now, excuse us while we go smother our dogs with hugs and kisses.
