How did your love story begin?

We matched on a dating app and hit it off instantly—hours of phone calls that felt effortless. The crazy part? He lived just 10 minutes away. When we met for our first date, everything clicked. It felt easy, natural—like we’d known each other forever. One date turned into forever, and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

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

On a Bay Area trip, we hiked, explored, and ended with a perfect dinner—until we found our car broken into. Everything was gone. I was crushed, but he held me, calmed me, and turned my panic into peace. In that moment, I realized love isn’t just about the good times - it’s about who stands by you when things fall apart. And he did.

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d use $20,000 to buy our first home - a place to call our own, where we can start a family and fill the walls with love, laughter, and lasting memories. It would be the start of everything we’ve dreamed of building together.
