Goofy band geeks since ‘98, loving hard, laughing harder. Perfectly imperfect, weathering storms hand in hand.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met in high school marching band—just two goofy kids who stood side by side in a field show set. We’d warm up next to each other, share laughs, and somewhere between the notes and the drills, we fell in love. We knew each other for a year and a half before dating, so maybe we owe it all to our band director’s drill chart. Guess he knew what he was doing. 😂
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?In 2017, during a particularly tough financial time, I saved every extra Christmas tip I got as a hairstylist. With that money, we took a special day to shop for our kids at Five Below, Dollar Tree, and a bargain basement store. Despite the challenges, it became one of our most memorable and joyful Christmases ever, proving that love and thoughtfulness make the best gifts.
What would you do with $20,000?Winning $20,000 would help us finally catch up on bills and breathe easier after some tough years. We’d help our families get back on track too—no one gets left behind. And because our hearts belong to rescue animals, we’d donate to our local Animal Rescue League to give more animals, especially senior animals, the love and second chance they deserve!
