How did your love story begin?

It began with a young 13 year old girl spotting a young man walking across the schoolyard and instantly feeling like love was a possibility. Without understanding the full scope of love she knew that what she felt, without knowing his name, was real. It took a while before they became a couple but she knew then that this was the man she would marry.

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

As a couple we’ve faced a lot of adversity but one of our best memories happened when we were teens and were faced with finding somewhere for me to stay as I had left home. A friend hosted an amazing sleepover and we had one of the best nights of our relationship.

What would you do with $20,000?

We are currently behind on our mortgage and would use it to catch up and perhaps take a much needed vacation.
