Connect How did your love story begin?

It all started with a “Do you like me? Yes or No” note in 2007—two 12-year-olds in science class, unknowingly planting the seed of forever. Life pulled us apart, but fate had other plans. Sixteen years later, we were inspired to reunite by our best friends’ wedding—Brandon the best man, Kristen the bridesmaid. It was destiny’s perfect setup for chapter two… only this time, it’s forever.

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

Our favourite memory is the magic of falling in love for the 2nd time. Knowing that the boy that I shared my first kiss with was also going to be the man I’d have my last with. Brandon asked me to be his girlfriend with 16 roses in hand, one for each year apart. A whirlwind romance, written by time. The runner-up? Discovering we were expecting a baby—five months before our wedding. Love writes the best plot twists.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning this would help us build the next chapter of our love story: a safe, happy home for our baby on the way. It would also fuel our dream of launching a creative business together—one that gives back to underserved communities. We believe love is best when it’s shared, and we want our story to inspire and support others chasing their own happy ending.
