How did your love story begin?

Derek and I met at a music festival. We didn’t start dating until a few months later when he posted on social media about being single. I took a shot and sent him a message and asked him out. We talked over the phone for a couple of weeks due to living in different states and then once we met for our first date we both knew. It was a really unconventional date but extremely memorable.

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

The night before our wedding we had a party that rivaled the wedding. Everyone who was there still remembers the night before more than our actual wedding. Great fun, great friends and all in celebration of our wedding.

What would you do with $20,000?

We have a 6 year old who loves to ride her bike but we don’t have a paved driveway. I would love to do that for her.
