Our love story began when I was 13 years old and he was 18. I first noticed him at a gathering; he was handsome and spoke with a charming Argentinian accent. Although he didn’t notice me at that time, I felt a connection that I couldn’t quite explain. Years later, when I was 17, we met again at a dance. This time, he approached me and asked, "Do I know you?" I responded, "You do." That moment sparked our relationship, and we quickly became inseparable. We've been together ever since, navigating
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The memory of us together is filled with many great moments, but my favorite story is how he tricked me into going on our honeymoon to Argentina in 1978, right when the World Cup was happening there. My first reaction was to say, "Look, honey, what are the chances that we picked June for our wedding while the World Cup was happening during our honeymoon?" 😂
What would you do with $20,000?I will take a well deserved vacation and save the rest for rainy days
