Even after 17 years, we’re each other’s person, best friend, and home. Can’t imagine life any other way.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met in the early days of dating apps while Steve was stationed in Adam’s home state of Wyoming. Being gay in the military during Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and living in Wyoming made it risky to show our love, so we created secret symbols we still use today. Snowstorms stranded us together, turning icy roads into cozy nights. We faced battles like Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act side by side but never fought each other. After 17 years, our love keeps growing stronger every day.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our 2013 wedding. Since we remember hiding our love, standing before family, friends, and coworkers filled us with immense pride and joy. Guests brought children to see the normalcy of two men in love. Steve married Adam in his military dress uniform, a deeply meaningful moment after the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. A guest said he hoped his sons would love as freely as we did. We’ll never take it for granted, knowing how far we came to stand proud together.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d take a romantic trip to explore somewhere new or enjoy a dreamy cruise, creating even more memories together. Traveling is one of our greatest joys, and we’d cherish the chance to celebrate our love while seeing the world hand in hand. We’d save the remainder to invest in our future, knowing we plan to spend the rest of our lives together and have big dreams we’re excited to make a reality. Live for today but plan for our future adventures together!
