"Juliana, I'm sorry for neglecting you these past days, and even on the eve of our engagement ceremony, I haven't given you a proper proposal. So today is my last chance..."
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then slowly began to speak again:
"Juliana, thank you for not giving up on loving me because of societal expectations. Missing and embracing are often separated by a single thought, thank you for giving me this final opportunity to embrace you.
Thank you for always being by my side, for comforting and encouraging me through my repeated downfalls, and for helping me overcome each and every challenge.
Thank you for all the endurance and sacrifices you've made for me...
Your tenderness, kindness, generosity, and intelligence deeply attract me; spending a lifetime with you is the most wonderful thing I could ever hope for in my life..."
