We consider each others feelings in everything we do. We provide each other with trust and support. We laugh at ourselves and each other.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Like many modern couples, we met on a dating app! After speaking for about a week, we met up for sushi one evening and bonded over our shared love of horror films—and our mutual dislike of snow, despite being New Yorkers. A few dates later, we made it official and have been inseparable ever since. We moved in together a year later, adopted our shih-tzu, Ozzy, the following year, and then, on our third anniversary, Jaime proposed.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It's honestly hard to pick just one! For our first anniversary, we spent a weekend in New York City. We visited the Empire State Building, explored 3 museums, went on a picnic scavenger hunt (highly recommend), and enjoyed a ton of incredible food. It was so special to spend quality time together, experiencing new things and navigating a city we both love but hadn't explored together before. However, the best part of the trip was coming home, crawling into bed, and napping in each other’s arms.
What would you do with $20,000?We are planning on getting married 9/27/26 and would be eternally grateful to put it towards our wedding!
