Best friends, not perfect—just perfectly us. Through it all, love held tight. I’d choose us every time. Always, all ways.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ari & Ricky 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.
Our love story began during a hurricane warning. My best friend dragged me to a nearly empty bar in South Beach—curfew looming. She introduced me to her friend, and he had me at “hola.”
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our most memorable moment? Our 1-year anniversary cruise—rocky seas, stormy skies, and nonstop laughter. Fitting, since we met during a hurricane. A perfect storm, then and now.
What would you do with $20,000?If we won $20,000, we’d donate a portion to the Diabetes Research Institute—a cause close to our hearts since our youngest was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just 11 months old (he’s now 11!). With the ongoing medical expenses to keep him healthy, we’ve never taken a true family trip. We’d finally love to experience that joy together… and no, not on a stormy cruise this time—but you get the idea!
