「it hasnt always been easy, especially when we have been living apart in different countries. but the strong support we have received from yumis family and also my family, have made the journey easier for us both」
「before yumi introduced me to her family i had mixed feeling about how i would be viewed.but any doubts i had were immediately erased upon meeting them as i felt like they welcomed me into their own family, like i was their own son」
「once again, i am very greatful for the support and help yumis family have given me. had the support from them not been there, i few that yumi and i wouldnt be here today celebrating this special moment in our lives」
「during these 4 years together ive seen our relationship go from being very casual to very loving. and now that we have decided to bond together forever in marriage, its now became very serious. unlike before, we now both face tougher challenges in life. but we are both confident that together, and with the support of both our families we will overcome whatever challenges life brings us.」
