Met in a poker room, bet on love, 20 years later—2 kids, tons of laughs, and still all in. We’re not perfect, just perfectly us.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We were 21, sitting across from each other in a Texas Hold ’Em card room. Nicole waited for Mike to make the first move—but when he didn’t, she played the first hand and asked him out. Young, bold, and a little wild, we both went all in. What started as a gamble turned into the greatest win of our lives: each other.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?For our 10-year anniversary, we hopped on a cruise in Brazil where no one spoke English—and suddenly, we were in our own world. We spent a week laughing, dancing, and pretending we knew what was going on. With no one else to talk to, we fell even more in love—with each other and the adventure.
What would you do with $20,000?This August marks 20 years of choosing each other—through every win, every storm, and every ordinary day turned magical. With $20,000, we’d tour the world with our loved ones, witnessing how different cultures celebrate love. From candlelit rooftops in Morocco to street dances in Capetown, we’d turn our anniversary into a global love story—because after two decades, our love deserves more than a party. It deserves a pilgrimage.
