JMs Marcotty had also shared a smiling photograph of the couple, saying: 'Every day where we are together is the most beautiful day of my life'.

Theo Hayez had been travelling through Australia with his cousin for eight months and was due to head home after a final stint in Byron Bay.
He arrived in the coastal town on May 29, and has not been seen since he left a bar called Cheeky Monkeys about 11pm on May 31.

His phone gave off its final signal just a few hours later, at the Cape Byron lighthouse.
Police received a missing persons report on June 6, after Theo failed to check out of his room on time, and launched an exhaustive search which has so far drawn in dozens of dedicated local volunteers and even psychics.
Belgian police had been working alongside Australian detectives in Theo's hometown to help piece together the 18-year-old's last known movements.
Officers will now travel to Byron Bay to help reinvigorate the search, and are expected to meet with a local group, led by bricklayer Christos Tsesmetzis, who have been diligently searching for Theo since he was first declared missing.
Mr Tsesmetzis has never met Theo, but said in a social media post he had been drawn to help, knowing the teenager was 'a brother, someone's son, nephew, cousin, god son and friend'.
