We balance each other, grow together, honor our different cultures, and remind each other every day that love should feel like home.

We met in high school, seated near each other by the alphabet. I turned around and smiled at him, not knowing that moment would change my life. That smile turned into playful doodles and I started drawing smiley faces on his papers during class. We’ve been together ever since. Years later, we looked at our natal charts and realized our love was written in the stars. From a classroom smile to planning our wedding, we’ve never stopped loving each other.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We worked hard and saved for our first international trip together, and it was worth every moment. We explored the lush jungles of Minca on a hike and swam in the crystal-clear waters of Playa Cristal. From adventure to peace, it was everything we dreamed of. The most unforgettable part was getting engaged on this trip. It was the perfect beginning to forever!
What would you do with $20,000?Winning $20K would help us bring our dream wedding to life by covering costs, honoring our cultures, and adding personal touches that reflect us. We would fill the day with love, laughter, and intentional details like custom stickers of our dog who completes our little trio. Every part would reflect our story as high school sweethearts and celebrate a love as unforgettable as the life we have built together.
