How did your love story begin?

We met online, drawn together by our love of rainbows and whimsy and somehow, through all the noise, we recognized each other’s magic. I’m usually too shy to swipe right first, but something about him felt different. I took a chance, swiped right, and he messaged me. We bonded over rainbows, and the rest is colorful history.

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

Our favorite memory is our first weekend at the Renaissance faire. He’d never been before, and I didn’t have a tent, so we slept in his van. He borrowed costuming from me and we matched and everyone loved it! Watching him light up as he discovered the whimsy and magic of faire for the first time (while we shared a giant turkey leg, of course) is something I will never forget. That was the beginning of our joint Renaissance

What would you do with $20,000?

We’ve been together 2 ½ years but only see each other once a week due to distance and family responsibilities. His van recently broke down for good, so we’d use the $20,000 to get him a reliable car so we can meet halfway and spend more time together. We’d also finally begin the dental work he needs to improve his health and quality of life. This would be life-changing for us, bringing us closer, literally and emotionally. We would use whatever is left to start our happily ever after!
