Connect How did your love story begin?

We met at an entertainment expo—two strangers drawn together in the chaos. From the first moment, we just clicked. We spent the entire time side by side, laughing, talking, like we’d known each other forever. After that weekend, we were inseparable. Raul introduced me to his closest friends, and I saw how big his heart truly is. He’s goofy, patient with my messes, and makes me feel completely loved. From that first day, we knew—this was something real.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our favorite memory from the Carnival cruise was dancing under the stars on the top deck, just the two of us, while the ocean breeze hit our faces. We laughed, drank too much, and sang karaoke like nobody was watching. Every night felt like a celebration, but that moment—carefree, together, and surrounded by the sea—felt like pure magic. It was the kind of memory we’ll keep replaying forever.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, we would put it toward building our future together. We’re planning a wedding—something beautiful, intimate, and filled with love—so a portion would help make that dream come true. The rest would support Raul’s goal of attending medical school. Investing in his education means investing in a lifetime of purpose and stability. Every dollar would bring us closer to a shared future full of love, growth, and meaningful achievement.
