Seewald wrote:

My Dearest Jessa Lauren,

These elegant pearls looked quite majestic when I picked them out. However, they were a bit lonely... What good are such beautiful pearls if not to have the grace of being worn by one so elegant and majestic as yourself?

These pearls were lonely ... just like I am when we're apart; but not anymore! I love you my precious princess!"

The note ended with a drawing of a heart at the bottom of the page, where the initials "B + J" surrounded by smaller hearts can be seen. The signature says, "Your Man, Ben."

Y'all, my guy is seriously the most romantic ever! I love you @ben_seewald!!! jessaseewald's Instagram
