“I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives learning, growing, laughing and loving together. Yes a million times over.”
Nassar also shared the happy news on his own Instagram account and wrote, “SHE SAID YES!!…I’m feeling like the luckiest (and happiest) man in the world right about now. Jenn, you are everything I could have possibly imagined..and so much more.”
