We actually met at a bar, both pushed by our best friends to make a move. Mine made the first play, sparking our conversation. Midway, I realized I’d been secretly following him on Instagram for years. Long story short, my friend convinced him to ditch his shirt under his suit jacket. We laughed, vibed, and instantly connected. After multiple chance run-ins, we finally exchanged numbers and our first date felt like coming home. Effortless, magnetic, and 100% unforgettable.

My favorite memory has to be from our wedding. Not just because it was the happiest day of our life, but because it was able to bring together our family for the first time ever and helped mend different family issues, a feud, and disagreements from both sides. It was truly magical, unexpected, and eternally grateful as it made our families stronger than they have been in over 10 years!

Of course we’d love to celebrate our love with it and go on a trip. But more importantly, we would want to give back and help others especially during these hard times. We have a small online business called Republic of Equal that focuses on equality and giving back and helping people of marginalized communities. So we would want to help and support these communities anyway we can.
