Adeline said yes. It was a moment I will never forget. The look of surprise and joy on her face when she saw the ring, it made my heart swell with happiness. All the planning and nerves leading up to this moment were worth it for that one word - yes.
I have always been confident in my decisions, but asking Adeline to marry me was nerve-wracking in a way I had never experienced before. She means everything to me, and knowing that she wants to spend the rest of her life with me is an incredible feeling.
My love for Adeline goes beyond words. She is not only my fiancèe but also my best friend, confidante, and partner in every sense of the word. We have faced challenges together and come out stronger because of it.
Her health has been a concern lately with her struggles managing diabetes while juggling the demands of being a diplomat. I worry about her constantly and try to support her in any way possible. Seeing her stressed breaks my heart, but she remains strong through it all.
The political climate between Ukraine and Russia adds another layer of worry as Adeline's work requires frequent travel there. The tension is palpable, and I fear for her safety every time she boards a plane bound for Kiev or Moscow.
I had a serious conversation with Adeline about resigning from her position as Ukrainian diplomat due to safety concerns, but she remains steadfast in wanting to continue making a difference through diplomacy despite the risks involved.
As much as I want what's best for Adeline's well-being, I respect her decision-making autonomy too much to push further than expressing my concerns openly yet assertively during our talk today.
In moments like these when uncertainty looms large on our horizon, all we can do is hold onto each other tightly and cherish every precious second spent together, knowing that no matter what lies ahead, we will face it side by side, as partners who share an unbreakable bond forged by love and unwavering commitment towards one another.
She said yes. And now begins our journey towards forever - a path filled with love laughter adventure tears growth hope- but most importantly - together.
