Connect How did your love story begin?

We met in the small town I grew up in Oregon when we were both 26. After we both experienced years of disappointment in dating, worked on ourselves, and knew exactly what we were both looking for, Gal and I met on a dating app. We instantly connected over shared values, dreams of our future, and several shared interests/hobbies. 3 months into our relationship, Gal found out he needed to move to CA for his first job as a pilot. After 3 ms of long distance, I moved in with him! Now I'm his wifey!

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

It is so hard to pick one, but after 1.5 years living together in CA, Gal proposed to me in the most beautiful way. He flew me in a Sesna airplane to Half Moon Bay, after we landed we walked over to this beautiful cliff over looking the aqua blue water and forests. He told me how he couldn't have made a better person for him and that with my father's approval he has the honor of asking me to be his wife. It was so beautiful because there was no one else, just us and the ocean.

What would you do with $20,000?

Gal and I have decided with $20,000 we would do a couple different things. First, when we got married we eloped ( with both of our families complete approval and support) with only my uncle in attendance in order to save money for a home and pay off my student loans. With the prize money we would like to have a small wedding with our closest families and friends so we can properly celebrate our love. With the extra money left over, we would pay off my student loans final haha, and be debt free!!
