Matt: March 29, 2016; I saw the Luau show for the first time. That was when I first saw Christine. During the Show, it was as if the entire world stopped and the heavens parted as she ascended from a cloud. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I had one question on my mind, "WHO IS THAT!?" as I tried to play it cool. She introduced herself to me in the green room after the show and I scrambled for words to say back. Thoughts were racing through my head like "I should have hit the gym more". I was finally able to mumble out one word, "WHAT?" as she walked away. From that moment on began 7 months of my extremely nervous, persistent, and detailed pursuit. I definitely wouldn't say it was love at first sight. I tried to pull out all the stops and showcase my best qualities, but time and patience was the thing that prevailed in the end. Christine: I was introduced to Matt Pablo, thinking he was just a normal guy like all the others; COMPLETELY oblivious to how wonderful he truly was. We started off as friends and it took time to open my eyes and heart. Once I did my life was changed forever and I am beyond thankful for his perseverance. I wish everyday that I had seen his genuineness and love from the beginning, but I thank God that he never gave up on me! Because now I am undeservedly blessed with the most wonderful partner in life. As we look back on our journey we've learned that it's better than a DREAM. As life and mistakes threw us mountains of challenge, we grew in endurance, and our relationship turned into something we never knew we NEEDED. Then, through God's mercy, grace and salvation he changed this relationship into something we never could have IMAGINED. We're both imperfect, but God is perfect in us. He is Lord over our lives and continues to lead, love and heal us by the power of his cross. As we continue to love the Lord our God, He delivers us and blessed us with the greatest love of our lives.
