Connect How did your love story begin?

I was about to swear off dating when my friend posted a photo of us for another friends birthday. I looked REALLY bad in this photo. I was making a dumb face. Louis messaged my friend almost immediately & asked if I was single. She gave him my information & within a day he was reaching out to me asking for a date. Reluctantly, I said yes. We went to a brewery for our 1st date and got through all the 1st date awkwardness quickly & giggled the entire night. I said yes every time he asked since.

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

Meeting each others families and friends. We got along so well with each other’s siblings and parents. It’s like we’ve all known each other for ever and it always feels like we’ve been dating our entire lives. We were both so warmly accepted by the others loved ones. The genuine happiness they express that we have eachother isn’t comparable to any other feeling. I want to introduce him to strangers on the street so they can feel how kind his presence is.

What would you do with $20,000?

Ideally, I would like to put it towards a down payment on a house. Realistically, I want to spend time traveling the world with the love of my life. Experience all the new things together. Creating more and more incredible memories together. Growing as better people and partners together. We don’t need to travel to accomplish those things but it would definitely be exciting to experience our love continue to grow abroad!
