You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Our love story began on AOL—two strangers connected by chance. Edwina and Jyrarde met online, quickly realizing there was something special. What started as late-night chats turned into a deep bond. After 10 years of love, growth, and unforgettable memories, they sealed it with marriage. A modern fairytale, rooted in friendship and built to last.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of my favorite memories is when we finally met in person on Jamaica Ave. in Queens. Jyrarde was already there, on the phone with me as I looked around trying to find him. Turns out, he was watching me the whole time like a total creep! When our eyes finally met, all I wanted to do was hug him. In that moment, I fell in love with him all over again—it felt so real, so right, and so worth the wait.
What would you do with $20,000?If we had $20,000, we’d definitely save most of it. We might use a portion toward a down payment on a house, but with how things have been lately—rising expenses and all—we know the importance of having a safety net. It’s been tough, but we’ve stayed strong together, and saving this would help us keep building toward a more secure future.
