Lee was more emotional than I was and that was really nice to see how much it meant to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She adds, &#8220;We\u2019re not the most romantic people in the world but we show our love for each other in other ways that are special to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shanewebber.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Shane Webber
