Brianna Cry, a woman whose grandparents adopted and raised her as a child, has touched hearts worldwide after surprising them with an unforgettable gift: a trip to Paris.
A video of the moment has gone viral on TikTok, amassing over 600,000 views and sparking an outpouring of love and admiration online.
A Heartfelt Surprise
In the emotional video, Brianna hands her grandparents a card containing a heartfelt message. Her grandfather begins to tear up before her grandmother even finishes reading it.
When the couple realizes the surprise is a trip to Paris, they are overwhelmed with joy, embracing each other in disbelief.
Brianna told People that this trip was her way of giving back to the people who shaped her life. “My grandparents have done so much for me over the years, and I knew when I began working that my first big purchase would be for them,” she said.
A Dream Realized
Paris was a particularly meaningful destination, as Brianna’s grandmother had long dreamed of visiting the City of Light.
In a touching twist, just one day before the surprise, her grandmother casually mentioned plans to visit Paris in 2026, unaware that Brianna had already arranged the trip.
The family’s itinerary includes iconic landmarks such as the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles, and a ballet at the Palais Garnier, a nod to Brianna and her grandmother’s shared love of the arts.
A Legacy of Love
Brianna credits her grandparents with providing her with a loving upbringing, access to education, and the stability that allowed her to achieve her dreams.
“I am beyond blessed and grateful to them for providing me with the love, support, education, and experiences that can even allow for me to give back in this way,” she shared.
As she looks forward to sharing this once-in-a-lifetime experience with her grandparents, Brianna is grateful for the opportunity to create cherished memories with the people who gave her so much.
