I met my husband when I was 20 and he was 32. We became close friends after meeting at a club and stayed that way for 10 years. After both experiencing tough relationships, we decided to take a chance on each other. The transition from friends to partners felt natural and effortless. Knowing each other so well made love easy. Our deep friendship laid a solid foundation, and open communication continues to keep our bond strong today.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory as a couple is moving into our first apartment together—exactly one year after making it official. It is a cozy two-bedroom with a backyard, and it marked the beginning of our shared life. We've filled that space with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments with family and friends. It’s more than just a place—it’s where we built our foundation and created memories we’ll carry with us forever.
What would you do with $20,000?Put it towards our forever mid-century modern dream home with the biggest garage/man cave and glam room!
