Met in the chaos of a pandemic, found connection, laughter, and love. Tim is my heart’s calm, my joy, my unexpected everything.
We would like to thank you for supporting Katie and Tim 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.
Trying to explain Tim’s impact on my life is like catching lightning in a bottle. We met in January 2021—peak COVID. Finding love felt impossible, but somehow, through solitude and sanitizer, we connected. My friend Brie swiped right, and after a month of daily chats, we finally met for tapas. Three hours flew by. In a time when most pulled back, we leaned in—and found something extraordinary amongst the chaos.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It’s the little things that mean the most—one word triggering a song, him always holding my hand, being total goofballs together, and spontaneous trips to the beach. It’s him making dinner while I sit on the counter, the way he pulls me in for a hug mid-sentence, or how we burst into laughter over nothing at all. It’s sharing looks that say everything, staying up too late talking, and dancing in the kitchen. These moments are the heart of us—simple, real, and full of love.
What would you do with $20,000?We recently bought our first home and are juggling student loan debt, urgent home renovations, and the dream of starting a family. This $20K would help lift some of that burden—allowing us to create a safe, welcoming home and begin saving for the future we envision together. It would ease the stress of our financial load and bring us one step closer to building the life we’ve always hoped for.
