Man Travels 14 Hours To Surprise Girlfriend At White Coat Ceremony

A doctor-to-be froze and began to cry as she was surprised during her white coat ceremony by her long-distance boyfriend who had traveled across the country to see her. Raymond "Ray" An, 30, and his girlfriend Hong Ju Kim, who goes by Sarah, have been in a long-distance relationship while Sarah has undertaken her studies at Virginia Tech University. Having completed her first year as a medical student, Sarah was set for the ceremony where student doctors are given their first white coats. Taking his place at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium, Ray waited to surprise Sarah. As Sarah walked out, her friends cheered to grab her attention, which caused her to see Ray – who had traveled for 14 consecutive hours – leaning over the barrier and waving in delight. Once it hit Sarah who she was staring back at, she immediately put her hand over her mouth and began to cry happy tears at her boyfriend's loving gesture. The couple’s friends Sydney and Jenny later shared videos of the surprise on TikTok, with Sarah's reaction soon going viral.
