How did your love story begin?

We met again on Tinder. Jay already had my number as if the universe had pressed rewind. First date I took him for steak, he 'forgot' his wallet. He met my family by the third. Five months later he moved in and never moved out. I introduced him to ayahuasca in Colombia. One night, mid-session, I felt the deepest love and proposed. As if cosmically ordained our shaman became our priest, a fellow guest our witness. It felt written in the stars, two souls meant to find their way back to each other.

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

Our favorite memory was when Ricki shared with Jay a childhood tradition: a jungle river excursion behind his family's villa in Colombia. We had to rely on each other to wade across chest-deep waters and clamber over slick rocks. Through currents both slow & racing, our trust and bond deepened. We came to realize how the excursion mirrored our relationship. We faced challenges side by side and had overcome them together, understanding that love is about teamwork, patience, and consistent growth.

What would you do with $20,000?

With such a blessing we'd first grow our family by adopting a 'fur baby' as it's something we've wanted for years. With Jay recently graduating a program for massage and orthopedic therapy, the rest would be used to launch his massage business. It will blend Jay's passion for helping others with his Polynesian culture's reverence for massage. We want to bring love, wellness, and healing to the East Coast. The chance to build a life around what we cherish most would be the greatest gift of all.
