"To the only person that loves broccoli and a homemade face mask more than I do... my poet, my dreamer, my favorite guy in the world," she said.

"A day celebrating you and only you, nothing makes me happier. Another year, an incredible year, one we will surely never forget.

"It's hearing your sweet voice singing silly songs with me in the morning. It's knowing I can always count on you to order five trays of french fries so I can eat four. It's driving across the country listening to you tell stories from another life.It's stopping so you can pee every twenty two minutes and waiting for you to say you aren't sure if you'll make it in time...every time."

Nikki's letter goes on listing even more of Somerhalder's quirks, before wrapping up with a heartwarming sentiment.

"Thank you for always reminding me that only a handful of things truly matter; flossing, laughing, and not counting how many bottles of wine we went through," she added.

"I get it now. The secret to our long happy marriage is this: I need to be in bed by 930, and you need to start manifesting all your dreams at 10. Done.

"As long as we always find each other for breakfast Happy birthday to the best partner and father in the world, 39 looks damn good on you. "

BRB. Off to cry.
