XXVIII-XI-MMIX Always and Forever...

Knowing we will be together forever has made me realize how important my wife is to me. Kersha Mataiti is truly my best friend, my buddy, my inspiration, my police, my ambulance, my happiness and the list goes on! But one important part of her that makes me who I am today is her constant, unconditional Love for me.

  I have always had my eye on Kersha ever since I laid my eyes on her. I was a Scared lonesome man who had no guts to ask any girl out. Being on my mission was one of the greatest experiences in my life, and having to end my mission and start another was scary. I remember the words of my mission president at my last interview with him, words i will never forget, he said “Elder Mataiti, when you go home, you find yourself a choice young lady. She will make you laugh, she will make you mad, but never forget, that she will always Love you!” He continues to say “you have been a fine Missionary and have served with many, I want you to find a young lady that matches your standards within the Gospel, you will take her to the House of the Lord and be sealed for Time & Eternity”. Thank you President Staples for the Kind words.

  So who asked who out first? If you know us very well, it sure wasn’t me!lol! I’m so glad that my beautiful had asked me out, again i was afraid of rejection. I hate knowing the fact that a guy as ugly as me could walk up to a beautiful girl and ask her on a date, it just wouldn’t make sense? I remember Mt. Eden. A place where we made history. A beautiful Box with contents i could only image of having was in my grasp. But the box revealed a different type of content. It had a message, it read ” Will you go out with me - Kersha”. For a very quick second I thought to myself “Gee whizz” what the heck do i do here?? I had felt this feeling i have never felt before in my life, it was of surety and it was made clear to me that this was the time. I remember the words of my Mission President at that very moment. This was it! She was the one! And with a shaky peep i said YES!! We celebrated afterwards, oh i forgot to mention that Kersha’s friend Rachael and my older Sister Michelle were present at the time both of whom initiated  this whole set-up. I felt so good about this, in fact so good, that i knew Kersha was this young lady President Staples warned me about lol.

I’m so happy to have met such a bright, beautiful young lady. Life continued for us for a further 3 years. It was like as if we were married already. We had some bad times, but a lot more fun and happier times. We have loved each other for so long that it was time that we got serious. Considering marriage was a huge step for us, but we knew we had the full support of our family and friends, which made the decision to get marred that much easier. But i will end it here. I will throw up pictures of our wonderful time together as Boyfriend and Girlfriend and as Husband and Wife. 


I dedicate this all to my beautiful wife. 
I love you.
