A heartwarming video of a proud husband celebrating his wife's graduation at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) has gone viral, sparking a debate about the appropriate way to celebrate milestones in a relationship.
Reagan Maniel, the couple's son, captured the moment on TikTok, sharing his father's exuberant reaction to his mother's achievement. The video shows the husband standing, clapping enthusiastically, and shouting praises for his wife as she walks across the stage to receive her qualification.
The video, captioned "I remember the style like yesterday, my father and my mom's graduation day," has garnered thousands of views and comments, with many users expressing their appreciation for the husband's evident love and support.

"I love this proud husband, he has the right to do it," commented @tamiadelI, echoing the sentiments of many viewers who found the husband's reaction endearing. Others, however, were less impressed, suggesting that the husband's enthusiasm overshadowed his wife's achievement.
"The guy, I'm assuming, is the head of the faculty or whatever, is so not impressed. He needs love in his life. This was so sweet," remarked @Shaheema40, highlighting the contrast between the husband's joy and the apparent indifference of someone else in the video.
The video also sparked a conversation about the importance of acknowledging and celebrating individual achievements within a relationship. @Mercia_Links pointed out that the graduate "doesn't look impressed," suggesting that she may have felt uncomfortable with the attention her husband was drawing to himself.
This incident comes on the heels of another viral video that showcased a woman attending her graduation alone, while her family chose to support her sister who was graduating on the same day. This sparked outrage on social media, with users expressing their disbelief at the family's apparent lack of support for the woman.
