You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We were just kids—19 and 20—when we met through friends and parties, full of energy and a love for music. We clicked on the dance floor, moving together like it came naturally. He was gentle and thoughtful, I was patient and already feeling something real. A month in, we moved in and made the big, scary, exciting decision to start a family. It wasn’t the most practical choice, but it was full of heart. We didn’t plan forever, but we choose it—again and again.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories is driving an hour and a half to our first Disneyland date, singing Ne-Yo songs the whole way. We left our phones in the car and forgot about the world—just us, laughing and vibing like we’d known each other forever. It was simple, fun, and somehow felt like more than just a first date—it felt like the start of something real.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d make smart, meaningful moves—either put it toward a home, pay off debt to breathe easier, or invest in dreams of launching a business. Whatever the choice, it would be a step toward building a stronger, more secure future for our family.
