We’re proof that timing is everything. The spark was instant, the connection real, and every day since has felt like coming home.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met by chance—both recently divorced, not looking, and at a beachside restaurant with our families (neither of us was supposed to be there). Our eyes met across the room, and the spark was instant. We went on our first date the very next day—it lasted 16 hours and we never wanted it to end. We’ve been inseparable ever since. It’s like God said, “These two? They’re meant to find each other.” And we’re so glad we listened.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories was a spontaneous night at Jack and Diane’s piano bar in South Carolina. We laughed, sang, and soaked in every moment. Afterward, we ended up at a Honkytonk where we had our first dance to Tennessee Whiskey. It was an absolutely unforgettable night—full of music, magic, and the kind of connection you never forget.
What would you do with $20,000?⸻ We just bought a home a mile from Rainbow Springs River, and with $20,000 we’d buy a boat! We love fishing, exploring, and making memories on the water together. It would be the perfect way to enjoy our new life, soak up nature, and spend quality time doing what we love most—side by side.
