Carlsey Bibb and Caden Mills joined “Good Morning America” on Wednesday to discuss life under the social media microscope after their post went viral. The pair were left speechless, however, when they learned during the broadcast that the restaurant will foot the bill for a fairy tale honeymoon in Italy, KTTV reported.

“So it’s just been surreal, but we’re super thankful for everyone that’s reached out to talk to us,” Mills said while standing outside the Olive Garden in Cookeville, Tennessee, where the engagement shoot took place, the TV station reported.

A TikTok video of the photoshoot was originally posted to the platform in July by the photographer, Shea Cravens, who runs Hunter La Shea Photography, People reported.

“Tennessee but with Italy Vibes,” the social media post read.

In addition to their wedding planning, Bibb and Mills are sorting out scheduling so that Cravens can accompany them to Italy – also at Olive Garden’s expense – to help recreate some of their engagement photos, KTTV reported.

“Neither of us have been to Europe, but it has always been a dream to go. We never thought we’d get to go this soon in life or maybe even at all, so we’re just really excited and really thankful,” Bibb told the TV station.
