Met at 24, faced breast cancer during the pandemic, proposed at the end of chemo, now thriving through love & travel 30+ countries
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met on OK Cupid—throwback, I know! Both of us were pharmacy residents in Philly, so I was shocked we’d never crossed paths. I messaged him calling his profile a catfish (oops), and he replied saying he lived in Philly but his program was in a nearby town. That sparked a laugh, a number exchange, and the start of something real. From one bold message to forever, pharmacy brought us together!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?After my breast cancer diagnosis at 28, the pandemic hit. Travel was restricted, but we found a way to be together at the end of my first chemo cycle. For the first time, he saw me bald…no wig, no filter, just me. I cried and asked if it was all too much. He kissed my bald head and said, “The only thing that would be too much is living this life without you as my partner.” In that moment, I knew he’d be my husband.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d put it toward growing our family. After surviving breast cancer at 28, fertility became uncertain. Now that I’m in remission, we’re hopeful and ready. $20,000 would help cover fertility treatments and give us the chance to start the next chapter: becoming parents. It’s not just a dream; it’s a second chance at life, love, and legacy. We’ve fought so hard to be here; now we want to build something beautiful together.
