Connect How did your love story begin?

We met on Hinge thanks to my best friend liking Leah’s profile even though I thought it was fake. Shockingly, she messaged me first! Two days later, we had our first date at Dave & Buster’s. She said she was competitive, yet I won every game. Love is a battlefield and so is Skee-Ball. I walked her to her car but chickened out of a kiss at the end, but that night started it all. From arcade battles to real love, we’ve been unstoppable since.

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

Leah planned a surprise Veterans Day trip that turned into our favorite chaotic memory. A hike at Hamilton Pool ended in a downpour, so we sprinted to the car, soaked and laughing but not before we danced in the rain. We headed to Treaty Oak for delicious BBQ and whiskey. Leah got cut off after befriending the bartender who marked her forehead like Simba with glitter. Between rain, drinks, and laughter, it was perfectly us: wild, sweet, and full of glitter.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning $20K would help us have our dream wedding in Phuket City, celebrating with family and close friends in a place we’ve always wanted to visit for its culture, food, and beauty. We’ve been working multiple jobs to get the dream started. This would allow us a few wardrobe changes during the ceremony because why not? Most importantly, we’d celebrate our love and the recent legalization of same-sex marriage there this past January.
