He added that he didn’t realise she would be at the store at the same time as him as she had taken a different car.
Mr Hewlett continued, writing an unexpectedly sweet post about how much he loves his wife.
“I was ultimately so pleased to see her in complete confidence on this day, as the independent, capable, humble, fun, sweet, kind, awesome person she is.

The status went viral, with over 320,000 likes and more than 210,000 shares.
