The footage of the sweet moment was taken by staff at Coppice Lodge Care Home in Nottingham, and has since been viewed over 800,000 times.
In the video, Chrystine walks into a room where she is surprised by Michael as Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers plays.
Chrystine looks emotional as she sees her husband for the first time in over a year, and can be seen shaking her head in disbelief.
The couple then go to sit down for a special meal arranged by the staff to mark their 65th year as husband and wife.
Their table is decorated with balloons reading 'love' and 'congrats'.
Michael even gives his wife a single red rose as she sits down.
The care home shared the footage on their TikTok page, captioning it with: "Chrystine and Michael reunited after a year due to COVID restrictions for their 65th wedding anniversary #truelove #reunited."
