Matt and Jessika take the plunge!

PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF
The Hawaii Wedding of Matt and Jessika

Do you remember the movie, Hitch? Well, if you don't, here's a quick rundown. It's a movie that stars Will Smith as a male relationship guru who helps men land the woman of their dreams. When I saw this movie, I literally told myself, "Man, I do a lot of what this guy Hitch does...I'm always telling men how to land the woman of their dreams. I'm HITCH! " To date, many of my friends are with the women they love because of yours truly.

Now, this is strictly my opinion, but I believe a lot of what is preached in the movie, Hitch, happens to be true. Women want a great man, a provider, a great father figure to her unborn children, you name it. But many times, a woman would make herself unavailable to meeting her future husband. This is primarily due to the fact that so many horrible men have approached her in the past. So how does a knight-in-shining armor land his Lady Guinevere? With a nonthreatening angle and calculated constancy. And this is exactly how Matt landed his future wife, Jessika.

That's a great smile.

Jessika was a bartender, and back then, Matt was purely a customer and of course, an admirer. Matt would strike up a casual conversation with Jessika and share a few laughs. When Matt finally mustard up the courage to ask Jessika out, she quickly turned him down. I don't blame Jessika for turning down Matt. I'm sure, as a bartender, she was asked out quite frequently, and rejection was just part of keeping things professional at her job.

Matt soon picked himself up and tried again. He shared a few laughs with Jessika, then asked her out... again, just to get shot down...again. The ironic thing was that Jessika had no idea that she was rejecting her future husband. But luckily for Jessika, Matt didn't give up. He was in love, and he wasn't like the other men who asked her out before. So he kept at it. In fact, Jessika told me it wasn't until Matt's fifth attempt, when she finally said agreed to go out on a date with him.

Consistency was Matt's angle, and it worked.

Well it didn't take long before Jessika realized that Matt was a great guy, and soon joined Matt in an ocean of bliss that only they could describe. Then when Matt asked her to marry, he didn't have to ask five times. It only took one time...with one yes...because Matt was the one she had waited for all her life.

Moral of the story? For men...rejection is part of the game. I'm sure Adam got rejected by Eve, his own rib! But be sure men, to keep up that consistency. Always date your wife, and never take her for granted. The moral of the story for women, you just never know where you'll meet your future husband. Good men are lurking everywhere, you just have to give them a chance. And when you finally land that great man, and he becomes your husband, always remember to be your husband's girlfriend.
