I love you bunches my love. We will be able to legally marry here, in Texas, in our lifetime. I believe it, my love. We may be old men by then, but if I have to push your ass in your wheelchair while I'm hunched over in my walker like a gay Quasimodo then damn it, we're still gonna make it down the isle if it literally kills us both. Love you bunches.
