Our love story began nearly 10 years ago, back in November 2015. We met online and talked for a month before finally meeting in person. Our first date was simple — just the two of us at my mom's apartment — but we were both so nervous. After all, meeting someone face to face after only knowing them through a screen felt like a big step. But from that very first moment, something just clicked. It felt like it was meant to be.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory as a couple Our first trip together to Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando will always be one of our favorite memories. It was the beginning of something special — not just a trip, but the start of a tradition we’ve kept ever since. Every October, just a month before our anniversary, we go back and make new memories all over again. It’s something we both look forward to every year.
What would you do with $20,000?We would put it toward buying our first home together. It’s a dream we’ve been working toward, not just for ourselves, but for our little family — including our cats. We want to give them a bigger space to explore and finally have a place we can truly call our own.
