W
hen Katie met Josh, she felt an immediate connection. “You could say it was love at first sight,” she said. Josh also felt a spark. “I thought she was beautiful and had a great personality,” said Josh, an electrician. “She was funny, full of joy and had a beautiful smile. I loved that she was outgoing and spontaneous, and I wanted to get to know her more.” They went on their first date to The Italian Oven a month later and have been almost inseparable since, bonding over their enjoyment of playing video games, their mutual love for animals and the deep connection they share. “We support each other in whatever the other likes to do,” said Katie, who works at Tatum Steel and is also an artist. “We like a lot of the same stuff, but we are opposites personality-wise. I think that makes us a good match because we balance each other out. Also, we communicate well and confide in each other.” Though he knew for years that Katie was the love of his life, Josh was a little nervous about proposing. “I wanted to marry her for a long time,” he said. “I love her drive and … just the way she is. She’s a good person. She really cares about people. I love her to death.” — more on page 46
