We have always been friends. There isn’t much we won’t do to make the other laugh or smile. He learned how to make jewelry to impress me.

It was May 2020 and Justin was sent home from college due to Covid. When I found out he was back in town I reached out and we started talking on the phone. Watching movies on Netflix over FaceTime to keep each other entertained during lockdown. Eventually I got the courage to sneak out and see him in person by asking if he’d get a soda with me. From that first car ride we were head over heels. He asked me to be his girlfriend and made me a knot ring the next week.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our first trip together when we were 18 and had no money or jobs. We stayed at this sketchy Airbnb in downtown Seattle. That night we stood on the balcony and listened to music and talked about how lucky we are that circumstances brought us together. We danced, we laughed at the singular crutch that someone dropped on the roof below us. It was perfect.
What would you do with $20,000?Justin and I just got engaged this month and are trying to plan the wedding of our dreams. This money would be more than enough for a wedding and honeymoon for us. I would love to get him his dream watch as a wedding gift.
