A man and his fiancé were boarding a plane when the airline worker took issue with her carry-on bag. Despite the man’s advice to only bring essentials, his fiancé brought a full-size bag that barely met the carry-on standards. As a result, the airline worker and a cop showed up, demanding that she be removed from the plane.
