How did your love story begin?

After 22 years apart, fate reunited Chris and Kristian—high school sweethearts whose bond never faded. Life had taken them on separate paths, but love had other plans. Their once-young romance returned with deeper meaning: patient, enduring, and full of grace. Through life’s storms, they’ve chosen each other time and again. Now, as soulmates and best friends, they step into forever—grateful for second chances and the love that waited faithfully to begin again.

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

Our favorite memory is our first date after 22 years apart. We sat in Kristian’s van for hours, talking, laughing, and reminiscing about our high school love. Life had changed us, but the connection felt the same—maybe even stronger. Music played softly as we opened our hearts, sharing stories of all we’d been through. Time stood still, and before we knew it, the sun was rising. That night reminded us: some bonds never break- they just wait to be rekindled.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, we’d invest in our future as a blended family of seven kids. We’d use it to help with wedding costs, create unforgettable memories on our honeymoon, and take a meaningful step toward buying our first home together. It would bring us closer to building a stable, love-filled foundation where our family can grow, thrive, and continue writing our beautiful story.
