My surprise got ruined!

Tweet

My husband and I have had a long four years of stress, tears and a lot of money put into him getting his green card but he finally got it a couple of weeks ago. It came in the mail while he was at work and I hadd een planning for a long time to surprise him when it came. I called one of my friends that is married to my husbands best friend and asked them if they could go out to dinner with us that night. Her husand had also received his greencard about a year ago so they knew what we had been going through and I thought it would be nice to have them there. I told her that my husband had no idea what was going on and asked them please not to say anything to anyone. I was planning on telling my husband over dinner. That night while we were driving to our friends house on of my husbands other friends that lives two states away called him and told him congrats on getting his green card. My friends husband had called his uncle and told him and his uncle had called just about everyone he knew. I was so upset. I wasnt really angry I was just disappointed. We had waited so long for this and we were the ones that had went throught this whole thing together. No one else helped us or anything. I just felt like I should have been the one to tell him. It is a situation that you can only understand if you have been through this long and stressful process before. This was life changing for us! Has someone ever ruined a really big surprise that you had planned?
