How did your love story begin?

We met at the ripe old age of 8 years old. In 3rd grade we spent the entire school year as “boy friend and girl friend”. The next several years spent at elkton school we were very close friends but never romantic. In 8th grade I, Alex, had finally worked up the courage to confess, but the day I was going to confess she announced she was dating her future first husband. Fast forward, after my ex and I split, the opportunity came when I could finally approach her romantically and I did.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Belinda was a teacher at a small private school where she was living at the time. She was one of the teachers in charge of chaperoning the prom. It was not a huge event as the school was tiny, but it afforded us an opportunity that we had never dreamed we would share. We got to attend prom together. We had an amazing night showing the younger kids how to do all the “old people” dances and acting like we were back in high school. It was a magical evening that neither of us will forget.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would use a small portion to pay for our modest wedding coming in October. We would use part of it to go on a honey moon that we would otherwise not get to take. And we would use the rest to help pay down debt as we prepare to try and buy a house.
