Steven and Julia met how most couples meet nowadays, on the apps. The year was 2018, the best of Steven’s life so far, when he met Julia in London, ON. Steven had just graduated from Fanshawe College with a diploma in Police Foundations and Julia was working as a research technician at Western University. Julia had also graduated from Fanshawe in 2017, just one of the many things the two had in common. The pair went out for dinner on May 31, 2018 and hit it off right away. They discovered they shared a love for similar things: music, travel, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and many others. Over the next year they became a couple and Steven was accepted into the RCMP. In May of 2019, Steven went to Regina, SK where he did 6 months of cadet training to become a Constable in the RCMP. This was the beginning of their long distance journey over the next 4 years. Julia went back to school for 3 years at St. Clair College in Windsor, ON to become a Medical Laboratory Technologist. Upon graduating from RCMP training, Steven was posted to the small town of Westlock, AB in December of 2019 where he is currently still living. During this time, they would see each other during quick trips on the weekends and during some holidays. It was hard, but it only made their relationship and their commitment to each other stronger. On one occasion in Westlock, the couple were introduced to the sweetest dog named Posey who needed a home. The couple jumped at the chance to have her in their lives and they adopted her in 2020. She became a great comfort to Steven when he was alone in Westlock. Julia graduated from her program and began working at University Hospital in London, ON in 2022. In October of 2023, Julia and Steven took a trip to Jasper, AB where Steven proposed to Julia at the top of a mountain overlooking the Athabasca Glacier. A few weeks after their engagement, Julia was hired for a job in Edmonton, AB and within a month, she had moved into an apartment in Edmonton in January, 2024. Now the couple were only an hour long drive away from each other. As of this year, Steven is waiting to be transferred to Sherwood Park, AB, where the couple are hoping to buy a house together sometime in 2025! Steven and Julia are so happy to celebrate getting married with everyone who has been a part of their journey, who have loved and supported them throughout their lives, and the people that have filled their lives with laughter, joy and the best memories. They are so excited to be entering this next chapter and hope to make many more memories with all of you in the years to come!
