Connect How did your love story begin?

We both came from failed marriages, and I swore off relationships for at least 15 years. But 3 years post-separation, we met on Tinder—and everything changed. One date turned into forever. In 4 years, life has transformed: he had his first son, we got engaged, celebrated our first baby shower, bought a home, and tied the knot on September 13th, 2025. Love found us when we least expected it—and gave us everything we knew we deserved.

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

We have so many unforgettable moments, but our wedding tops the list. It began as a simple courthouse plan—small, intimate, and sweet. We’d both been married before but never had a real wedding. In just 25 days, it turned into a full celebration at Atlanta’s iconic Piedmont Park with 25+ guests. The best part? It was all under $1,500. What started simple became magical—beautiful, budget-friendly, and everything we truly deserved.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we were awarded $20,000, we’d finally take the honeymoon we never had—a few peaceful days on a tropical island with no stress, no check-ins, just us. After everything life has thrown our way, that escape would mean the world. We’d also do what any middle-class couple would: pay off bills, catch up financially, and create a little breathing room. It’s not flashy—but it’s real. Love, rest, and stability—that’s the kind of dream $20,000 could help make come true.
