"We thrive together-honest, supportive, and always united. Life's better with each other, our perfect match."
We would like to thank you for supporting Ashley and Arturo 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 journey began with Instagram messages, then a memorable day at a 49ers game. Both working for different security companies, we didn't realize we'd cross paths. The day ended with lost car keys, panic, and a race to the parking garage just before it closed. Despite the chaos, that day sparked a beautiful bond, making us inseparable ever since."
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?"Weeks before our anniversary, Arturo mentioned a special gift, sparking thoughts of marriage. I ordered him an engagement ring, hoping to propose together. When his ring arrived early, I excitedly asked if he'd be open to receiving it. He joked, 'Are you proposing?' I said no, had him turn around, and knelt to propose. He stopped me, saying, 'Wait,' then returned to propose to me. In our living room, with our pets nearby, we both cried and laughed, confirming we'd found our forever."
What would you do with $20,000?"If we won $20,000, we'd invest in our future together. First, we'd create a joint savings account to build a solid financial foundation. Then, we'd allocate funds to travel, experiencing new cultures and creating lasting memories. A portion would go towards furthering our education, empowering us to pursue our passions. Lastly, we'd donate to causes close to our hearts, spreading love and kindness. Together, we'd use this gift to enrich our lives and the lives of others."
