We met online in our 40s—Gordon from the West Coast, Maureen from the East. We fell in love while playfully debating which coast is best. Just before COVID hit, we got engaged and bought a home on Valentine’s Day. Then the world shut down. Our wedding was canceled four times, but we never gave up. This past April, we finally said “I do.” Proof that love shows up right on time—no matter what tries to get in the way. ❤️

Gordon’s a veteran, Maureen’s a therapist—our days can get heavy. We often relax by dancing together in our living room, letting loose to country twang or 80s jams. Our favorite memory? Practicing our wedding dance when Maureen discovered Gordon’s crush on every female 80s pop star. Whether silly spins or slow dances, these moments are messy, loud, and full of laughter—proof that love only needs two hearts & one beat to keep us connected. 💃🕺❤️ (PS...our first dance started with a Tiffany song)

If we had $20,000, we’d honor Maureen’s dad, who’s lived with stage 4 cancer since 2019. He used his savings to give us the gift of a beautiful wedding, and now deserves a retirement filled with peace, not financial stress. We've always dreamed of a backyard family pool—a place for laughter and lasting memories. With this gift, we’d repay him or build that pool in his backyard, creating a space to cherish the precious time we have left together.
