Katie and Steve
Katie decided to plan a trip to Greece in the summer of
2005. At the pub just beside her hotel, she got a chance to talk to a Canadian soldier who was there on a three day break. He was a strong, tall man who had a kind demeanor and a gentle voice. He and the rest of the troops were on a peacekeeping mission, and the one thing he said to Katie that stuck in her mind was "You just can't imagine how much you miss your wife when she's not here. I can be in the most beautiful place in the world, but it’s all nothing, without her.”
His loyalty to his wife was so touching, that it broke
Katie’s heart a little and left a deep impression in her.
It was also this memory of the Canadian soldier that helped Katie recognize her husband-to-be, when he came into her life.
Katie met Steve six months after she had returned home from her journey through Greece. He lived right in her home town, and he worked only ten minutes away from where she worked. He came to her at a time when she was completely happy and content with her own life, and didn’t need someone. In other words, he came into her life when she least expected it!
Steve was a personal trainer, and his level of physical fitness already made him very attractive to Katie. But what really made Katie notice him was, funny enough, was the relationship he had with his dog.
Steve had a brindle boxer named Jasper. Jasper went everywhere Steve went, and was the best, most well-trained dog that Katie had ever seen. Steve didn’t even have to put a leash around Jasper; they simply moved and did things together like best friends. Jasper’s quiet loyalty to Steve, and Steve’s attentiveness to his dog, indicated to Katie that this man was the caring, loyal character that she had yearned for.
Steve was Katie’s idea of what a good man should be, and the pure love that Steve had with his dog Jasper was a great sign to Katie of the love she was about to receive.
The loyalty and pure love between Steve and Jasper reminded Katie of the same strong but gentle demeanor of that loyal Canadian soldier, and the love he had for his wife.
It also reminded Katie of her own father and mother. She has loving parents who remain together to this day. They loved her and supported her and gave her a solid foundation to
tackle life with. Katie’s parents continue to be a golden example of what marriage (and parents) should be like.
Looking at Steve, Katie knew in her heart that he was the one. She realized she now had someone to share life’s most precious moments with, and she was excited to start a new journey with someone she was completely compatible with.
