Melissa and Phil Watson (Phillissa)

We met through our besties who are a couple - how cliche, right? But it paid off because we got each other AND three little Phil clones! ;)

How did your love story begin?

He was a party house weirdo with an octopus hat and I was third wheel to his best friend and his girlfriend for the day. You know, like how any two who meet in their mid-twenties. He took me on a couple of dates that I didn’t realize were dates (we were acquaintances being friendly!) before I realized it one night, when he passed me the last gummy shark in the bag at the couples hookah party I was invited to the day after my boyfriend broke up with me. He said he felt it then too.

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

Probably when he found my forgotten pregnancy test on the bathroom counter and got to tell me later that evening that I was pregnant. I don’t think I would have been more surprised even if I had seen it first!

What would you do with $20,000?

Put a down payment on a house or pay off our family’s medical debt.
