2006: first meeting, on Matt's sailboat, with friends. (Matt made a horrible impression on Kelli) Kelli thinks, NO WAY. 2012: second meeting, at a fun dance party at a hotel in Waikiki. Numbers are exchanged. Matt proceeds to enter Kelli's in his phone under "Car Repair", and never called her. He later said OOPS. 2 weeks later: After Kelli leaves a less-than-flattering voicemail, Matt meets her and friends out at another fun dance party. The night ends with some kisses, and Kelli's camera equipment being stolen from her house. Kelli says WTF. 2 nights later: First true date, and Matt wins Kelli over with flowers and a lovely dinner. She says THANK YOU and SEE YOU SOON. August 2016: The Breakup. They say GOODBYE. May 2017: one morning, Matt shows up at Kelli's doorstep with coffee and a McMuffin, and asks her to dinner. She says OK. June 2017: A few weeks of hikes, dinners and movies, and Matt says, DATE ME? September 2017: a post on Facebook of a weekend on the Big Island makes it official, Kelli and Matt are back together. Matt says PHEW! October 2017: Matt plans a trip to Vegas, invites two of Kelli's best friends to surprise her at their hotel room. She opens the door, sees her friends faces, turns around to see Matt on his knee with a ring in his hand. She says OH MY GOD YES!
