"Life with you has never been better, and I’m the luckiest man alive to get to spend the rest of my life with you @rena.sofer."
Sofer wrote a message as well, saying to her husband, "The love I have for you now is the foundation of my life. I can’t imagine another moment NOT walking through life with you hand in hand and our hearts entwined."
