17 years, one wild-weather wedding, and a kid later—we still laugh, love, and choose each other daily. That’s what makes us great.
We would like to thank you for supporting Joe Catanzarite in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
High school sweethearts for 17 years—which in couple years is basically forever. We got married on April Fools’ Day (fitting), and our wedding came with sun, wind, rain, and snow because why not? Now we’ve leveled up to parenting Thea Love (TLC), who runs the show. Somehow, we still like each other, and our friends think we’re “couple goals” (no pressure). Built on love, laughs, and surviving every “where should we eat?” debate.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories is a Roverfest concert where the skies opened up and it poured—but we stayed until the very end. Soaked, cold, and smiling the entire time. There was something unforgettable about singing in the rain together, not caring about anything but the music and the moment. Truly one of the best nights we’ve shared.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d be practical… mostly. Pay off some bills, maybe upgrade the car that’s hanging on for dear life, or finally start a down payment on our future home. Or who knows—maybe just enjoy a nice meal without checking the bank account first.
