We have been married for 20 years! We’ve made big messes, but have worked through them to the other side and have a lot of fun together!
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met at a Weezer concert back in 2002. We dated long distance as Justin was from NC and Jess was from Ohio. We went to school together in England for a year, came home, planned our wedding in 5 weeks and flew to Nigeria the next week. We have had a lot of bumps along the way as we both came from very broken homes determined that we wouldn’t repeat the same patterns. While we repeated some bad decisions, we’ve learned to truly forgive and communicate in healthy ways.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Some our favorite memories are just staying up late talking and laughing. It’s really hard to go to bed early when you’re married to your best friend! One that stands out was one night laughing so hard my water broke!
What would you do with $20,000?This past winter was very difficult for us. It was the coldest on record for at least 10 years, and the natural gas well that heats our home couldn't keep up. The energy company that owns the well lease wouldn't service it, and there was no quick fix. It was absolutely brutal. We would use the money to make sure our family doesn't experience another winter like that - buying the well lease, servicing the well, and putting in backup heat sources, better insulation, and whatever else it takes.
