Not
all of us are lucky enough to be blessed with such a blissful
marriage that is preceded by a fantastic love story. We looked up for
stories that would interest the readers and we finally came across a
couple who started their journey from Cincinnati when
John A. Pescud first saw Jessie Allyn, his now dear wife. Before he
had met her, he was of a view that the best selling romantic novels
are all fictitious stuff. He called them groundless and unbelievable,
where all was so unrealistic. John was a man devoted to his
profession. He was a travelling salesman for a plate-glass company at
that time, he was a professional who believed little in romance.
However, destiny had another plan for him. He had to be on that train
going towards Cincinnati and meet the lovely lady from Virginia who
had travelled to Illinois to visit her ailing aunt. On route, John
saw Jessie and he describes the his sentiments by praising her that
“she read a book and minded her business, which was to make the
world prettier and better just by residing in it.” John was
sure of what he wanted. He had made up his mind to win Jessie over.
Like a passionate young man, he followed her up till her home and
decided to talk her out.
He
planned it all and lodged in a hotel near by and gathered the
information about the Allyns from the landlord. The Allyns lived
proudly in the big white house on the hill. Colonel Allyn possessed
the reputation of the biggest man and the finest quality in Virginia
or anywhere else. Finally, on the third day he found the young lady
walking in the front yard of her home. He tried to interact with her
in a manner that would disguise his intentions. However, what he
gathered, astounded him. That magnificent beauty that bowled him over
had known of him chasing her since long. She was elegant and shy. She
had anticipated him and it was a pleasant surprise for John. The way
Jessie said for her father, it was clear that she was never to go
against his wish and was a true lady. However, like a true American
hero, John visited Allyns and got to not just meet Colonel but also
impress him by being honest about his motives.
In next meetings the
Pescud and Allyn got a chance to get to know each other more. Colonel
inquired about Pescud's family and became sure of that the man was
right for his daughter. Now Jessie and John A. Pescud are blissfully
married and like a perfect husband John even digs out blossoms for
Jessie.
