Two different souls who met through gym schedules, shy glances, and big dreams, building a life and a home from scratch.
We would like to thank you for supporting Amanda & Adonay in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met at the gym, we had the same schedule. I think we started to notice each other but it was not until one day that he approached me to help me and then he worked up the courage to talk me. The moment was super funny because he asks me for my Instagram and I give it to him, but I never thought he was interested in me like that, we just greeted each other, we helped each other. I thought it was normal that he wanted to keep contact, until he confesses his feelings and I reject him at first.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Ulises is from the countryside, I'm from the city. He was born in El Salvador, and I was born in Cuba. I think our favorite moments as a couple are when we use different words and don't understand each other's meanings, or when we show each other things like, "Look, this is what I ate when I was a child in Cuba," or "Look, this is what my house looks like in El Salvador." We try to teach each other our culture and where we come from because we think it is important.
What would you do with $20,000?The money would make us financially stable; I could finish college. In fact, if we earned it, I wouldn't even want to spend it because I don't think I've ever seen or had so much money in my life. I would put it in a glass case, like the pieces in museums, so I could look at it and still not believe we earned it. It would make us very happy, to be honest; we could use it for our dream ranch we want to build in the future.
