Connect How did your love story begin?

Our love story didn’t start with fireworks—it started with friendship. We met through mutual friends and, at first, we barely noticed each other. But as we kept crossing paths, something unexpected happened. Laughter turned into late-night conversations, and suddenly, we were looking at each other differently. Jacob made the first move, asking me out and showing up with a single rose in hand. He ended the night with a kiss—and just like that, the spark ignited. What started off as casual meetups

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

One word: Disney. For our 6-month anniversary, we took a trip that felt like a dream. We wandered through the parks hand in hand, reliving childhood memories while making unforgettable new ones together. I grew up loving Disney, but experiencing it with Jacob brought it to life in a whole new way. It was magical, emotional, and full of core memories that we still talk about to this day. It wasn’t just a vacation—it was the moment we realized how deeply we’d fallen in love.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would use it to take the next step in building our future together. First, we’d pay off the bills that weigh us down. Then, we’d put the rest toward a down payment on our first home—our forever space to laugh, grow, and build a life filled with love. It would be more than just financial support—it would be the foundation for our next chapter.
