"It's a new life chapter GOLDEN GILDED CAGE where we tied the knot. The vehement passion in oblivion, Reminiscences of the glorious moments shall never fade. You've permeated my soul like a labyrinthian. Your love reverberates and permeates inquietude in delirium and perturbs my solitude in an imperium...From today till the end of time, I confront you as my KING in a magnificent camaraderie of my heart... I will make all your days feel like adventure... Innumerable aspirations may we succeed...May we walk miles and miles hand in hand. God bless us."
