Luke is a man in his own right,a working man, a man who knows his own mind and panders to no one.Maybe he seemed the strong silent type as he stands by Josie,supports her,comforts her,makes her laugh,makes her feel good about herself,challenge's her and teaches her new things,music,art,films,ways of handling situations and how to look at life.But he is also funny and sharp,able to hold his own.Strong enough in himself to not feel threatened by Josie's success and popularity,in fact he is proud of her and takes delight in her accomplishments and ability to draw people to her. he like Josie has a good work ethic,wants to be successful at what he does.He wants to do his best and takes pride in that.A responsible man,who owns his own business and is working hard every day to build it up.A man that believes actions speak louder than words,words are easy to roll of the tongue,talk is cheap.If you make a statement back it up with action,this is something Josie needs,to see if her man will do as he says,not just spout sincerity and declarations but show her these in action.Is he perfect is he eck.Just like Josie and every other person he has faults,but unlike some he doesn't put himself out there as a hero, a man with impeccable morals,beyond reproach.
They are learning more about each other every day,the strains of working in different places,travelling,periods apart,a new home.These are things couples face all over the world,no one way is right to live your life,to co exist in a relationship.As long as you talk about it,listen to each other and work together then you will be fine.They didn't split up,stop being engaged they just stopped planning for a date for the wedding,Lukes business is important,there's no point him living in Bristol if he can't get any business there,both of them are paying the bills,will contribute towards the wedding so why not have it when you have the money to pay for your special day.Like Josie Luke didn't have a perfect upbringing but he has never used that as an excuse to not work hard,contribute,go for things and strive to be better.
And last but not least the reason this relationship works is because they socialise together with friends and family, but also have no problem,insecurities or jealousy over socialising separately.When one person is jealous of the other and then decides to play on their insecurities to make them feel bad about themselves,less than worthy,not a priority then that is not a healthy relationship. Thank god Josie doesn't have to worry about that anymore.
Is this the greatest love story in history....no that was Romeo and Juliet.Josie and Luke are a normal couple , living their life the best they can,warts and all.Good luck to them I say Josie is one lucky lady as Luke seems like a funny,strong,caring,intelligent and good looking chap but more importantly Luke is one of the luckiest guys around to have won the heart of our Josie Jo,and made her smile from ear to ear and make the blue eyes sparkle

Joking aside well said
I still don't understand why people who are ment to be fans of hers can't just be happy for her in her relationship. He hasn't given anyone a reason to be anything but nice and some of the excuses people come up with to make themselves feel better about the things they say are crazy
He has moved his whole live to be with Josie when the last one wouldn't even turn off the playstation for her!”
Well said to you both. Glad to see someone standing up for Luke. You have both said what I was thinking, can't really add much more.
As already said, if you 'appreciated' someone surely you would be happy to see them happy and appreciate the person who's making them feel that way.
Hope everyone is well. I'm counting down to Friday and a 3 day weekend. I'm planning to go dress shopping and send the rest of the weekend lying on my sofa.
