You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met in med school before Hajira (F) dropped out. Andy (M) continued and graduated, while Hajira pursued teaching chemistry. We bonded over our love of movies like the Departed and the TV show Greek. We have so many differences, but we don't see our relationship as overcoming those. We see our different backgrounds and faiths as feuling our love.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Going to the Cleveland Art Museum. I know on the surface this may get eyerolls. We were absolutely blown away by this free to attend museum, with a gorgeous atrium and a kids room where they can learn how to consume art. We were in wedding-planning mode, so when we walked in to the atrium with the sun coming through the skylights, we both started tearing up. We've been to art museums all across the country, and this one holds a special place in our hearts.
What would you do with $20,000?We are getting married very soon! We would love to be able to use it on wedding expenses. Specifically, we have family coming in from India, and the travel and stay is costly. It would mean the world to us if this family could be there to see us start our lives together.
