His video of his wife’s emotional reactions during their Venice vacation will melt your heart. From the beauty to missed boats, her tears said it all.
In the hustle of busy lives and packed schedules, taking a wholesome holiday break can be a well-deserved treat. These moments not only help us de-stress but also let us recharge in inspiring new settings. One woman, Lilianna Wilde, fully embraced her emotions during a trip to Venice, and her husband, Sean Kolar, captured every heartfelt moment. A musician, Kolar compiled these candid instances into a touching video and shared it on Wilde’s Instagram (@liliannawilde).
The footage begins with the music-loving duo landing in the city of love. Wilde got emotional upon seeing Venice’s winding canals, striking architecture and beautiful bridges. “All the reasons my wife cried on a vacation. We arrived and it was so beautiful,” the text overlay provided context for her heartfelt reaction. Kolar was then seen consoling his wife as their vacation was just starting. The couple soon headed to a local restaurant to enjoy some authentic Italian cuisine.
On their way, the couple missed their boat and encountered some difficulty reaching their dinner destination. “She got confused with military time and we missed our boat,” the text overlay revealed, with Wilde crying in the background. The woman’s eyes welled up with tears again when she found a souvenir that reminded her of her grandmother. The emotional moment was so touching that it brought tears to her husband’s eyes as well. Kolar remarked as Wilde recalled her past, pointing at the beautiful artifact. Later, the couple strolled through the streets, hand in hand. What started as a romantic moment soon turned into an emotional meltdown for Wilde. Overwhelmed by Venice’s beauty, she expressed her wish that everyone in the world could experience the city at least once in their lifetime. The next day, the couple encountered another Italian marvel—a busker.
Wilde was deeply moved by the street performer’s “incredible” singing, and she couldn’t hold back her tears. The couple had planned to meet her father during the trip, with all the arrangements made for his visit. Unfortunately, he missed his connecting flight, leading to another emotional moment for Wilde. Though she couldn’t meet her dad, her husband arranged something special to lift her spirits. Kolar ordered some delicious food, but his wife’s most noticeable reaction was crying. This time, however, her tears were of joy as she smiled between bites, praising the dishes.
As their vacation neared its end, the couple stepped outside one last time. An elderly man was playing the violin in the street, and the “beautiful night,” paired with the melodious tunes, proved therapeutic for Wilde. Cut to the airport, and Wilde was in tears again, overwhelmed by the realization that their vacation was coming to a close. The nearly 40-second reel has since gone viral on social media, earning around 1.1 million likes and countless comments.
