“The Calla lily is a symbol of gratitude. For me, it represents how grateful I am to know you, Asia—past and present. The tulip is a symbol of hope. For me, I hope that I can be a positive addition to your life, in whatever regard you see fit to let me in. The dahlia is a symbol of commitment. I know that we bear no titles, but I do want to commit to you, Asia. If you will have me, I want to be your man. Your spouse. Your partner.”
