For his fifth anniversary with his wife, Paulson arranged for them to both have some time off work--unbeknownst to her--so they could take a trip to Europe. He recorded the moment when he broke the news to his wife.

She stares at him in confusion until he says, "You've got about an hour and a half to pack a bag. I'm not even kidding."

His wife is going to need some of that time to process what's happening, though. She stares at him in disbelief as he explains that he's even arranged for someone to feed their pet.

At the end of the sweet video, she finally accepts that the present is real and exclaims, "Let me hug you!"

If you're wondering where he got the inspiration for such a cool surprise, look no further than Paulson himself. Four years ago, he pulled off a similar surprise and told his wife they were going on a cruise to the Bahamas. That time, though, she didn't get to pack her own bag.

Maybe he'll think of a way to top it after all.
