He said he was the last one to speak and he got emotional as he recounted their journey together. “I was the last one — and I started talking about the year, about us meeting and everything that happens in life," he said.

"I just feel like there’s balance. She sees me. She knows my culture, my language, and understands everything about me,” he futher said, adding that he started “welling up” in that moment.

Stewart, 34, said she was also overcome with emotion and felt a sense of peace and joy. “We were both emotional, overwhelmed with joy and at peace knowing that this would eventually be part of our story,” she said, adding “It felt like magic, but at the same time, it felt right and normal.”
