Being with Eli feels like coming home—I’ve never felt so safe, loved, and lucky all at once.
We would like to thank you for supporting Eli & Magda 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.
It started with a fearless lake dive and a stolen glance. Summer nights turned into stargazing, deep talks, and a growing spark. Then came the text: “I like you.” Hearts soared. Their first kiss? Fireworks — the world faded, and only they existed. Now we’re living our own rom-com — and these scenes are still being written.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?While kayaking, a pod of humpback whales appeared—breaching, swirling, playing around us. Eli was (reasonably) nervous. Magda was exhilarated. Both of us were breathless. In that wild, beautiful moment, we felt tiny, lucky, and totally in sync — like the universe gave us front-row seats to nature’s magic. A memory we’ll treasure forever.
What would you do with $20,000?We’re ready for our next adventure — buying our first home and starting a family. $20,000 would help turn our dream into reality: creating a cozy home filled with love, laughter, and storybook moments we’ll share with our future kids (starting, of course, with the tale of a fearless lake dive that started it all).
