Patience and Persistence lies at the heart of this couple’s story. Conrad and Christine met for the first time in high school, where they remained friends well into their undergrad years at UBC. It was during this time and a ski trip later that Conrad started having butterflies for Christine. Things however didn’t go for him as planned, at least not in the beginning. The first time Conrad asked Christine out, her answer was “Hmm, let me think about it”, followed by a no later that night. Conrad however was not daunted, and accepted her invitation to spend more time with her as friends. After a couple months of hanging out and getting to know one another, Conrad asked where they were in their friendship/relationship, upon which Christine answered “we’re just friends”. Two months later, after a discussion with her friends (who all thought Conrad was a great guy!), Christine realized that what held her back was a fear of commitment, something that many of us can relate to. Determined to not let fear take over, Christine told herself that she would accept if Conrad persisted to ask her out one more time. Then one night, a poem and a heart to heart talk later, he won her heart at last!
Conrad and Christine, I’m glad you two found love in one another and that you’ve journeyed together as long and far as you have. As a male, I have to say Conrad that your persistence serves as an inspiration to me! Looking forward to your wedding!!
Cheers,
Raymond
