"I could finally say I love you... in front of these hundreds of people." she smiles to me; her voice shaking.

"In front of millions.... billions of people who are probably going to read this on the internet and seeing it on the news, that I love you, Wang He Di. My bao bei." She chuckles, her tears starting to flow from all corners of her eyes.

"Like you said, it took us a great deal to get to this place. It hasn't been the most peaceful decade for our relationship and we had to go through a lot just to keep our relationship strong.

I admit, Wang He Di, there have been many times when I thought to myself that I should probably quit this. That I should probably end everything we have because I could no longer take all the hate that I was receiving from people who didn't want us together. I wanted to quit so many times, Didi." she breaks, her voice starting to shake.

"But you know, every time I looked at you, with the same tired eyes looking back at me, I knew I'd rather lose everything just to be with you. I didn't care if the world wanted to throw eggs at me. I didn't care if I get bashed on social media or be called names because they hated me for being close with you.

I knew the moment you walked towards me, with tired eyes almost wanting to shut from the tears that you shed when we had that major fight, that I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. That I choose you."

The crowd echoed in "awws".
