Then he listed the qualities he admires most in his partner. “I fell in love with your smile, your energy, your simplicity, your kindness, the peace you give me, your joy, your love, your charisma, your humility, your kisses, your hugs and, above all, that immense heart you have,” he expressed.
To close, he summarized his feelings with a line charged with emotion. “Thank you for choosing me, for standing by me, and for being my family. I love you with all my being ♥️.”
