Our love story began with us working at the same country club. He was a line cook and I was a fine dining server. He had a love for creating food and I had a love of creating experiences. One night grabbing drinks with mutual friends we finally met . Little did I know my life would forever change for the better! I met the man who would make me a mother and a wife . Two things I never thought I’d be considering I cannot have children. I met my son when he was 2 years old . God knew I needed them!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite shared memory is our first anniversary! We traveled to Ashville North Carolina. I was surprised with a blissful hike to see a 360 view of the blue ridge mountains. That was followed by salsa and bachata dancing in town . Many espresso martinis later.We went out to see a drag show ! And a stay at an absolutely stunning hotel in the river arts district called the radical .
What would you do with $20,000?With 20,000 we would put it towards our dream of a wine bar that serves a variety of tapas . Combining his love for food and my love for wine . We would partner with local farms to provide a true authentic farm to table experience. So every time anyone would come to dine with us they would be able to sip their wine and take a bite. And, taste the love that we have for our craft and for each other .
