How did your love story begin?

With a jar of toe nails, hot dog socks, an early commitment to braid our hair together, and many hours scouring antique shops.

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

Impossible to narrow to one. The impossible is always happening when they are together- like taking a winter walk and hearing a dog bark “Jingle Bells.” Currently they'd have to say the best memory is their recent engagement day. Ken made Mimi a mixtape of meaningful songs, with dedications recorded by friends and family, and gave it to her to listen on a boombox riverside at their favorite little spot in the mountains. The tape ended with Ken on one knee and Mimi weeping. She said yes though.

What would you do with $20,000?

Launch their life together! They are recently engaged after nearly 50 years looking for a friendly, thoughtful love like this. That would go a long way in throwing a party to celebrate with loved ones, and open a Japanese stationery store where Ken and Mimi can share their love of journaling and handwriting letters with community.
