Met in our 20s, united in our 40s—after life’s storms, we found each other and became each other’s calm.
We would like to thank you for supporting Christie and Wes in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Wes and I were friends in our 20s, but life took its turns. After heartbreak and loss, we reconnected in our 40s—both rebuilding. He moved in with his kids for stability, and what began as support turned into love. Grief gave way to hope, and two broken paths became one healing journey. Now, we’re not just a couple—we’re a family, stronger because of what we survived, and thriving because we chose each other. This isn’t just love—it’s a second chance, and we’re living it fully.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory is when Wes told me he wanted to be in a relationship with me. I had a crush on him since the first day I met him.
What would you do with $20,000?I have been out of work for sometime, I would use it to help us out and take us on a much needed vacation!
