Christine & Sam ❤️
08.08.26
Twenty years ago, a day at the Caloundra Cup, a few mutual friends and a simple introduction set this love story in motion.
Two decades later… here we are. ❤️
Their questionnaire had more laughs than answers — which is pretty on-brand for these two.
Sam’s first impression of Christine? “She was beautiful… like a sunrise. She absolutely blew my mind.”
Christine’s first impression of Sam was slightly less poetic. Tall, handsome… and, apparently, he gave her the sh*ts! 😂
Thankfully, she persevered.
Because beneath the cheeky exterior was someone funny, kind, loyal and endlessly supportive — and the man who would eventually become her partner for life.
Sam calls Christine his “Boss Lady” and says he can’t imagine doing life without her.
Twenty years, plenty of laughs, one Boss Lady… and a love story that’s still going strong. ❤️
