Marriage is one of the most important and beautiful expressions of love that a couple can perform.
I always enjoy weddings. There is something so moving about two soul mates finally tying the knot. But even more interesting than the wedding is how this couple fell in love. Call me crazy, but I'm a sucker for a good love story. So when I saw how Claire Johnson and Mark Gaffey found each other, my heart absolutely melted.
Claire and Mark are both visually impaired and lived 1.5 miles apart in a small town in England. Both Claire and Mark were in their 50's but still hadn't found someone to share their lives with. But when they each brought their guide dogs to the same two-week training course, their lives were changed forever. And when I heard exactly who brought them together, I couldn't believe it!
Claire and Mark's beautiful story of how they found love is absolutely incredible. Were you as moved by their story as I was? Let us know in the comments.

Claire and Mark are now happily married, but exactly how they found each other is quite surprising. While at the training course, their guide dogs, Venice and Rodd, took a huge liking to each other and became a couple themselves.
Venice and Rodd were inseparable. Claire said, "Our dogs were the class love story. Everyone used to joke about how Mark's dog Rodd and my dog Venice were meant to be together."
Because their dogs were so attached, Claire and Mark arranged to meet for doggie play dates. Quickly, those play dates turned into lunch dates for Claire and Mark. And before they knew it, they were in love too. Claire said, "I have no doubt that our guide dogs brought us together and helped me find my true love. Much like our two guide dogs, we really are best friends and soul mates."
Mark popped the question on Valentine's Day, and the rest is history. The happy couple was married, with Venice and Rodd acting as ring-bearers. This beautiful story of how the love between two dogs led to the love between their two owners is truly incred
