You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
4/1996 we met at taco time in a small town through our friends. We didn’t like each other at first. Sandra was shy, John was cute but not tall. The initial meeting did not go great. We went on a date at Italian restaurant a week later and we were inseparable since. We got married in 09/1996 and started our lives. John was in the Air Force at the time. There’s more to this story….
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We have so many memories. Too hard to pick a favorite. Our wedding, military moves, welcome homes after after deployments, road trips combined with moves and leave (vacation time), camping, our daughters wedding, news that we’ll be grandparents, taking care of each other when sick. I think one favorite is our trip to Yellowstone in 2023. It was just us.
What would you do with $20,000?Save some and go on a real honeymoon to Europe or a cruise. We’ve never had a real honeymoon due to life, careers, etc.
