We make a great couple for many reasons! We are high school sweethearts, both creative and motivated each other. We are bffs!!
We would like to thank you for supporting Erik & Ivy in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Our story began in high school, where friendship sparked into something more over shared creativity. He printed shirts, I wanted to learn, and soon we were inseparable. I was 17, he was 18, and just a few months after we started dating, I moved in with him before my 18th birthday. Since then, we’ve grown side by side, building a relationship that’s stronger, happier, and more full of love every day.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is spending my 20th birthday at Disneyland for Sweethearts’ Night. It was his first time there, which made it even more special. We explored the park, rode the rides together, and shared such a fun, romantic night. It felt like a perfect little getaway just for us. Traveling and experiencing new things as a couple is something we love, but that night will always stand out as one of the best.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d use the $20,000 to invest in our future—putting some toward savings for our first home, which we’ve been planning and working toward. We’d also set some aside for our personal projects and car builds. On top of that, we have plans to start our own screen printing and embroidery business one day, so this would help us get a little closer to making that happen.
