He left her at the altar the first time, but 17 years later they got married.
At age 4, Stephanie was the flower girl in a wedding and 5-year-old Christopher was the ring bearer. But he got scared and made her walk down the aisle alone.
A year later, his family moved away, and she thought she had lost a friend. But then a letter came to her church asking for prayers for Christopher as he was deployed to Iraq with the Marines. Stephanie got his email address and sent a note. The notes continued then became even more frequent.
When he came back home, Stephanie traveled to his base to meet him and they saw each other in person for the first time in all those years... and the rest is history. He told her the only thing he had to offer her was his unconditional love. She accepted it, and they finally walked down the aisle, together.
