Koya and Daren

I think we’re a great couple because we’re not a perfect couple. We’ve been vulnerable about the challenges and with each one our love grows

How did your love story begin?

Our Love story began on a popular dating app we were both nervous about getting on! We went on our first date and have been inseparable ever since!! It was truly love at first sight with obstacles along the way which we have overcome with resilience and determination. We were engaged within seven months of meeting and married 2 years and 14 days later! We now use what we learn to inspire other couples to lean into personal growth when it comes to relationships.

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

One of our favorite memories we share as a couple is our amazing destination wedding that took place in Playa Del Carmen Mexico with close friends and family!!! We’re still paying for it but it was SO worth it!

What would you do with $20,000?

Koya’s Mom transitioned in February and afterwards she created the Lillian Marie Legacy Scholarship to carry on her mother’s legacy of love and fund lifecoaching scholarships for applicants who have what it takes to be a great coach but don’t have the funds.
