Woman’s Surprise Breakfast Revelation for In-Laws Goes Viral: ‘Cutest’

A mom to be from Denmark who planned the ultimate surprise for her in-laws is going viral on the internet.

In a “throwback” video on TikTok, 36-year-old Ellie was ready to host her fiancé’s parents for a surprise breakfast. The occasion was organized especially to tell them that the couple are expecting a baby.

“Michael and I have been on a long and emotional journey to get to this point. We were pregnant before, but sadly, we lost our baby in week 19. This made this pregnancy all the more anticipated and deeply wished for,” she told Newsweek.

Ellie, who goes by @elliedk on TikTok, gave viewers a sneak peek at the beautifully decorated table, complete with a big vase of flowers, bread, jams, a selection of fruits and the most wholesome part of it all: the mom to be had hidden an ultrasound picture of their baby on each plate covered with a napkin.

After more than five years of trying to conceive, undergoing IVF treatments and experiencing the heartbreak of late pregnancy loss, Ellie and her fiancé Michael were finally able to share their happy news.

“When we shared the news with Michael’s parents, they were overjoyed—there were a lot of tears of happiness. It was such a special and emotional moment for all of us,” she said.

The short clip went viral on TikTok, amassing over 160,000 views and nearly 7,500 likes. She captioned the clip: “Throwback to a couple of months ago—a little breakfast surprise for Michael’s parents.”

One user called it the “cutest” way for the couple to make their announcement: “Small, intimate family breakfast—win.”

A second user was curious as to how her in-laws reacted to their pregnancy news. Ellie explained that the soon to be grandparents were delighted and there were a lot of “happy tears” but she didn’t want to film that part.

Many others were interested in Ellie’s tableware, with some enquiring where she got her plates. She revealed she’d purchased the porcelain plates from Royal Copenhagen in the comments.

For the couple, it was a pregnancy announcement they’ll never forget. “It was such a special and emotional moment for all of us, especially after trying for a baby for over five years, undergoing IVF, and experiencing late pregnancy loss,” Ellie told Newsweek.

“They understood how much this meant to us,” she added.

Ellie is currently in her third trimester of pregnancy at 32 weeks. She has not revealed the gender of her baby online.
