A U.S. Army soldier showed up to a Luke Bryan concert in Wisconsin to surprise his wife.

Chris Roelke held a sign reading, “Surprise! Honey I’m home” for his wife April to see when she arrived at the event.

Roelke was initially unsure if the surprise would be successful.

"She always figures things out. It's very hard to surprise her. So, I'm kind of nervous that we're actually able to pull it off,” he said.

His wife was ultimately shocked when she saw him at the concert.

"I'm ecstatic! I don't want to let him go,” said April Roelke.
