How did your love story begin?

We met 23 years ago at TGIFriday's. He worked security at the bar & I was a host/server. He said the first time he saw me it was love at first sight & one day I would be his wife. He asked me out several times but I turned him down because I had a boyfriend at the time. We parted ways & 3 years later we ran into eachother at a Starbucks and have never been apart since. We always have felt that fate or God brought us back together, that we were always meant to be together ❤️

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

That would be our 1st date. We had a lovely dinner at the House of Blues at Down Town Disney. My hubby purchased tickets that night to come back for another date to see the Cherry Poppin Daddy's. We held hands for the first time that night. When he took me home we hugged goodnight and I started to walk away & ran back & kissed him! That 1st kiss was amazing so special! We still talk about it today 💖

What would you do with $20,000?

We never got to have a wedding ceremony so we could finally afford to have a vowel renewal. We went to Las Vegas for our honeymoon and have never been on a vacation away since then. We could finally take a family vacation. And we could buy my husband a new car. He drives around in an old car with no air conditioning and never complains.
