And with the other, he holds a large bunch of flowers out in front of him, while he waits for his partner to arrive on the shuttle bus from LAX airport.

Spotting his other half approaching, a smile erupts on his face and he opens his arms wide to greet her.

The video maker, a YouTube user posting under the name Valerie Jane, can be heard voicing her delight as the man reaches in to give his female friend a kiss before pulling her in for a cuddle.

The pair hold each other tight for almost ten seconds before unlocking their arms and kissing each other once more.

The man then presents his other half with the bunch of flowers and then the card before sealing the deal with one last kiss.
