Thomas acknowledged his love during his impassioned address, adding, “My dear Nancy, it has been 60 years since we first met, 56 years since we first dated, 10 years since I last saw you, and 20 days since we reconnected.”
He reminisced about his crush on her since her cheerleader days, and how seeing her still made him grin and his heart skip a beat. He admitted to thinking about her every day for the past three weeks and spending hours chatting to her every night.
Thomas expressed his delight at finally being able to embrace Nancy in his arms after so many years, noting that her inner and outer beauty has always attracted him.
He promised to make every day an adventure, to grow old with her, to wake up in her arms every morning, to share ambitions and aspirations, and to support each other through thick and thin.
Thomas concluded by professing his love for Nancy and promised to spend the rest of his life ensuring that she is happy and knows she is loved.
Nancy was struck with emotion and said yes to the passionate proposal right away.
