On December 29, 2021 my best friend got down on one knee and asked me to be his life partner in this world 💍💛. @simon_clowes I would say yes a thousand times over. You are the sweetest man that has ever entered my orbit. When I think of you my heart fills with peace, overwhelming love 💕, and lightness ✨. I want to say thank you for being the man of my dreams. Thank you for making me feel safe in your presence, thank you for seeing me, hearing me, and never ever trying to change me but always uplifting me and moving mountains in this world so that I can shine in all my happiness. Your heart is pure gold and your mind is beyond. I am in love with your integrity as a man, your softness and care for those in your life and those in mine, your work ethic is inspiring, and your resilience is something to be admired. I prayed to God for someone like you and he blessed me ten fold. You are the only human in the world that I can be 150% fully Melissa with. With all my multi layers and complexities from being the Melissa on IG that everyone sees to my intimate moments and quirkiest of quirks you have accepted every ounce of me and have never once asked me to change. They say to marry a man like your father and my dad is an exceptional man. The first man to ever show me unconditional love and the first man to show me what a real man looks like, someone who moves with integrity, strength, dignity, and action. You Simon Clowes remind me so much of my father and I can honestly say I have made the perfect choice in saying yes to you. As I write this long ass caption (haha) I just want to scream to the world how much I love you!!!! Thank you for being you. I love you Simoneeeeee! Thank you for choosing me and for never taking no for an answer 😉😜 you have made me one happy ass girl. 💛 Thank you to our friends & family who showered us in love yesterday at our engagement party. We truly appreciate you. ✨
