From the comments section :-)

At this point I admit to two things ...

1.) How very proud I am of how much my beloved is doing; I can't beleive that I, a guy, am actually excited by our flowers.

2.) How of all the years I spent abroad, these past few months have been absolute torture - and how I wish I could be more physically present at home these past month.

To all the lucky guys out there who are physically present with your fiancees as you plan and prepare for your big day, you have no idea how lucky you are.
