Getting married at 17 and 18 often is seen as a mistake. Despite every challenge we created a life, a family that can withstand it all.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
22 years ago Carlos was working in France, and Silvia was in high school in New York. Two strangers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean decided to visit their parents In Portugal. Carlos was a 18 year old, fearless, motorcycle rider, and Silvia was a quiet, confident, 17 year old. Every day he rode his motorcycle, making it his business to stunt in front of her, which she hated! As the days passed they spoke and fell in love. Dated 3 months and married. 22 years and 4 daughters later!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our 10pm coffee date nights! Trying to navigate our daily life, work schedules, and being parents to our four daughters, our days are pretty hectic to say the least. 10pm when the girls are asleep, lunches are packed, laundry is done, and kitchen is clean, it’s just us! Our time to sit in quiet, have a cup of coffee, maybe share a dessert, and catch up. This is the time that we laugh at how crazy our day was, work drama, and plan for our next adventures! It’s our time!
What would you do with $20,000?Pay for our daughter’s college and plan a mini vacation. With two in college finances have been a struggle. We would also take a much needed mini vacation, maybe a quick mom and dad getaway!
