It was a match made in paradise.

A Colorado woman says her high school teacher set her up with her own brother-in-law ahead of her vacation to Costa Rica.

Shortly before Ellie Gervais, 25, was due to travel to the Central American country in September 2021, she was surprised to run into her former humanities teacher, Jessica, 40, at the supermarket.

Jessica had met her woodworker husband, Jona, 39, while traveling in Costa Rica 20 years ago. She told Gervais to connect with Jona’s brother, Pablo, 26, a surf instructor.

“She said, ‘I have a brother-in-law who is around your age, I bet you’d get along,'” Gervais, an intuitive eating counselor from Durango, told SWNS.

Jessica sent Gervais’ number to Pablo, but Gervais didn’t hear from him for two weeks.

Pablo, from Nicoya, Costa Rica, said: “Jessica gave me the number, but I forgot to call. Then a few weeks later I picked up the phone and saw the messages.”

Pablo eventually got in touch by text, asking Gervais if she wanted to “hang out.” They arranged to surf and explore the beaches.

“He picked me up on a motorcycle,” Gervais said of their first interaction. “He took off his helmet, and I thought he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen in my life.”

The two have been inseparable ever since — and both are grateful to Jessica for the introduction.

“I was in love with her after the first day,” Pablo said. “I knew she was my soulmate.”

The pair officially started dating in November 2021, and Gervais texted Jessica to tell her they were “totally in love.”

“I definitely didn’t expect this,” Gervais said. “It feels like magic.”

Since meeting Pablo, Gervais has remained in Costa Rica with his family and learned to speak Spanish. The couple are working on a visa for Pablo to return to the US with Gervais — so he can meet her family.

“I can’t wait to show him a Colorado Christmas,” she gushed.
