How did your love story begin?

Our love story began 13 years ago in Australia. I was recently graduated from UVM and moved to Melbourne to pursue my dreams of being a dancer and actor. It was only a month after moving there that I needed some directions and coincidentally I asked the most handsome and friendliest man for some help. Dan ran up to me to give me directions and before leaving he said, "Wait, I would love your number to take you for coffee, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." The rest is history.

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

This might be odd to say as it wasn't a fun memory but it really solidified us as a couple. We just started dating and my dad had passed about a half year before this moment. I was at his place, getting ready to ride into the city on his motorbike, when I was putting on my dad's watch and it broke. I was about to completely break down in grief but before I was swept away he immediately tore his own watch off and gave it to me. He then got the watch fixed.

What would you do with $20,000?

Go to Disney World! Joking...I would use it to start our dream business; a multi-use creative hub. I've wanted to open a cafe for all sorts of artists in LA and he can operate his jiu jitsu classes with his company Waves Jiu Jitsu. We would host book club, film club, and more. We'd offer all kinds of classes for artists and be a one stop shop for all things creative.
