How did your love story begin?

We were two airman chock and chaining HSC-7 helos on the Mighty Ike. The first time Patrick saw me he told his friend “I’m gonna marry her”. He first caught my attention in Greece, obnoxiously doing backflips, I thought…..”who is this annoying guy!” hahaha. We’ve been through hell and back on two deployments, my best friend, and confidant! From deployment to I Do! I Love You!!!

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

Pat: Key west. Jet skiing and hearing you laugh like crazy the entire time then going up in the parasail and you having to comfort me cause I thought we were going to die. I held you the whole way back on our adventure boat because you were sea sick. Vanessa: My favorite memory was our trip to NYC for New York Fleet Week. We bar hopped every night, waking up in our hotel sleeping in pepperoni pizza. Roof top bars in our dressed whites. Our friends bought you a lap dance that upset me. lol

What would you do with $20,000?

Invest in a family business. Down payment on our next home. Help fund our 2026 wedding !!!
