“You don’t leave my side. When I talk with my fans, you’re by my side. When I go do shit that Jules tells me I have to do, then you’re with me. When you sleep, you’re by my side. When I go out, you’re by my side. Understanding me, baby doll?”

“Then don’t marry me to change your name. Marry me because there will never be another man in this world who loves you as much as I do. You’re my best friend, my missing piece, and the only person who can make my world amazing just by being in it. Marry me because I promise you a lifetime of love and laughter and happiness.”
