Our relationship is full of adventure. We show that a relationship should be built on love for others just as much as for each other.
We would like to thank you for supporting Art and Ave 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 a local coffee shop that both of us have worked at, but at different times. We would chat over the counter about all sorts of things, but mostly the outdoors and canoeing. Over time we started doing sweet things for eachother and a slow courting started. Several washed dishes, baked cookies, free coffees, hidden twenty dollar bills, and loud laughs later we started dating.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories is that of our second canoe trip together. We went to Lake Diablo and canoed into our campsite on a small island. After a day of canoeing up the lake's canyon, climbing dams to look at waterfalls, and hiking to the highway through snow; we ventured to the canoe for our trip back to camp only for a storm to set down. Through dark, wind, and waves we made our way safely back to camp. We learned what an avalanche sounds like and that we could fully trust eachother then.
What would you do with $20,000?A portion of the money would go toward our wedding in June, 2026 at the same coffee shop we met. Anything else would be invested to prepare for our future and give us security to continue going on adventures together for years to come.
