Man wanted to own granddad's tractor but it was already sold—on wedding day, wife gave him the surprise of a lifetime
Many people try to look out for their partner and their dreams and aspirations. A bride took it a notch further when she managed to surprise her husband with his dream tractor on their wedding day. The man had wished to have his grandfather's old tractor after he had passed away. But unfortunately, his family had already sold the same. He was heartbroken, but he didn't know that his future wife, Katie F, had a big surprise planned for him, per her TikTok page, @babybinks12.
Katie shared a photo of her husband sitting in his grandpa's tractor bucket as a kid as the old man drove it. He had a big smile on his face and seemed super excited. "While dating, all my husband wanted was to own his grandpa's tractor again," the text overlay of the video read. However, the family had already sold the tractor after the man's grandpa died. "After talking to the new owner, I was able to convince him to sell it to me," Katie added. She managed to get the tractor before their wedding day and planned a big surprise for her husband. "Can’t believe I pulled this off," the caption to the video read.

In the clip, the couple came out of somewhere in their wedding attire and the man had a blindfold on his eyes. He held onto the bride as she walked ahead with a framed photo in her hands. The tractor was parked at a distance as the couple turned away from it to pose for a photo. The groom was still blindfolded and had no idea about what was going on. Katie opened the blindfold and handed him a photo frame of his childhood picture in his grandpa's tractor. She prompted him to turn around and the man was surprised to see his grandpa's old tractor parked right there. He immediately gave his wife a big hug and had a surprised smile on his face as he looked at the tractor.
The couple also posed for several wedding pictures in front of the tractor. People applauded the wife's thoughtful gesture in the comments section of the video and even pointed out that the man was lucky to have his wife. @3austint3 wrote, "My aunt spitefully sold my grandma's (still alive with dementia) ‘67 convertible to some random person right after my grandpa passed. It was never for sale and my pop had it in their will for it to go to me. I PRAY it finds me again like this someday…" @raedanforthjones commented, "This may be the best wedding gift of all time! Not many will understand the significance of this, but I sure do!"
@michaelmedlin81 remarked, "Bro hit the lottery with her… his whole childhood played back in his mind when he saw that tractor!" @stephstephenson610 shared, "Love this! There’s something about those tractors that grandpas poured their blood, sweat and curse words into that form so many core memories. Here’s to many more of those memories being made." @thestoryofagoat expressed, "I found out a few months after my Grandpa had passed away that his truck was gone and my heart sank. Turns out my cousin 'bought' it from my grandma in exchange for him covering funeral arrangements. He is now restoring it and I have plans to restore his old bass boat. It would be awesome to see that truck take that boat back to the lake we used to fish as kids."
