Connect How did your love story begin?

We went to hs together but never spoke one time. After college I moved back to our hs town and swiped right on her sexy arms and realized who she was. She did not remember me at all. I insisted our first date be NYE despite it driving her crazy. Day of, I was so scared an unlike my text messages all I could do was cling to her sexy arm. We have been on a six year first date since then. We build each others lives by helping the other. She runs a sustainable clothing brand and I want to go to grad

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

One of the many: we got stranded in Seattle alone without our bags during the airline Internet outage! We crawled into a bar to buy the one drink we could afford and won 500 on gambling. We used it to explore the city while our flights kept canceling. We originally had gone to see my nieces, hiking and eating at fancy places. Then alone in SEA, we toured the aquarium and city, scrounging up food and laughing at how ridiculous it all was. We call this Sleepy in Seattle. It’s one of my favorites

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use some to propose to and marry her, before we might lose same sex marriage. I’m the more feminine one of us and I want to propose to her in a beautiful place with a chain instead of a ring. So I can show her how I feel: fantastical and only about her. I’m nervous but I don’t want anything more than to have her be my life forever.
