How did your love story begin?

Our love story began when we were young and met at church. Years later, life took us to different states, but when we reconnected as adults, we never stopped talking. What started with long-distance calls quickly became a deep friendship and, eventually, love. From the beginning, it felt intentional and lasting. Today, we’re married, still best friends, and so grateful to do life together.

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

We got engaged in a quiet architectural museum in Tulum. We wandered barefoot through the peaceful space, and in the center, Malachi got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. That night, during a candlelit dinner, a live band played nearby. The singer asked Malachi to join them. He played a song with the band while I watched from our table, completely in love. It felt like a scene from a movie!

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d use the $20,000 to pay off our remaining student debt. With that weight lifted, we could fully focus on growing our businesses, saving for a future family, and step into this next season with clarity and confidence. It would give us the freedom to invest in what matters most.
