We met by chance in a Aus pub in '09. We wrote letters through snail mail for 5 years before seeing eachother again. We married 1 year later

In 2009 I was backpacking with friends in Sydney Australia and had gone out for a night of dancing. My feet were killing me and I had to find a seat. To no avail I couldn't find one inside, so I ventured out to the patio. There was a half filled table far in the corner. I told the men occupying the picnic bench that I needed to sit and would move if the seats where accounted for. Lucky for me the seat was available and I sat next to Gene. We talked all night and exchanged contact details.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We love to travel as much as we can and the summer of 24' we spent a whole day wondering the streets of Pompeii, Italy. Talking the day away about what it would have been like to live back then and how great the people would have been. We got caught in a rain storm and even had lightning that day while we learned about the cities rich history.
What would you do with $20,000?We are currently in the process of moving from California back to Sydney where we met. We would use the money to help us get reestablished as we start a new downunder.
