We’ve been together nearly 15 years, nearly 9 years married. We get to re-know each other all the time as we change over time. Love & work.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met online, I lived in Arizona and he lived in Michigan. He was visiting Scottsdale for work and we connected immediately, spent a few days together before he had to leave. We jetset for a year, visiting each other every few weeks and one year later to the day we met (7/11) he moved to AZ.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our wedding in Vegas in 2015 was a major highlight. Five years later from the day we met (again on 7/11) we married at Caesars Palace by the pools at sunset. It was gorgeous and 80 of our closest friends and family celebrated with us. We rented the penthouse from the movie The Hangover for our reception and it was lit! One of the first gay weddings for most, and gay marriage was legalized federally in June that year so it was all very exciting and monumental.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20k we would take a vacation back to Greece to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary (7/11/25). We visited Santorini and Mykonos for our honeymoon and have wanted to return ever since. We would also make a few updates to our home in Phoenix, installing misters outside to make the patio more usable in the unending AZ summertime, and would add a chandelier to our great room, the last piece to finish off our 10 year remodel!
