We met at a friends party. I (Emily) had been previously in a terrible marriage. He never found anyone. We had both given up on love.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We each had a best friend- who were dating each other. Aaron called Shawn to see if he wanted to “go eat Chinese food” on Christmas Day because he doesn’t celebrate and had just relocated to Colorado. He said “come on over” we’re having a house party! I went to my friend Kate’s house party and I noticed this really handsome guy who had been trying to get tickets to Emancipator- one of my favorite bands! And the rest is history :)
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Getting stuck in Peru and missing our flight home for a parking garage snafu! We couldn’t get our car out of the garage on Mondays… wild. But we made the best of it and became masters of the pivot :)
What would you do with $20,000?We’d either put it towards our ceremony or my student loans!! Which are gross… as a physician who owns her own business and who’s finances were totally wrecked by my ex (I promise I’m not just bitter and I was really done wrongly by the system…) paying them off has been difficult… just being perfectly honest!!!
