How did your love story begin?

No more than flirty winks and quick glances 😏 Twenty years later, Basim planning a HS reunion “accidentally” messages the wrong Maya. Or maybe… the right one. That “oops” became everything. We’ve been in constant conversation since. Some stories are written by fate, with typos and all 📝

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

For Basim, it is our wedding weddings 💒…every detail infused with love, laughter, and where the storm tried to upstage us 😭 For Mayá, it’s the COVID quarantine, just us in our bubble, turning stillness into sanctuary. Both chapters of a love story that keeps being written 📖

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d tuck a little away for rainy days, and chase the sunshine with the rest. Costa Rica, coconut water, crashing waves, and two people still cackling about how much we’ll change in next 20 years.
