Connect How did your love story begin?

We’d heard about each other for months but didn’t think much of it—until we finally met on Christmas Eve 2024 in Costa Rica, where Justin’s mom played cupid. The connection was instant, and we had our first date the very next day on Christmas. From that spark, love blossomed quickly. We’ve since moved in together, built a beautiful life, and are now planning our wedding. A magical beginning to our forever.

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

One of our favorite memories is a rainy day on a foggy beach in Ireland. We ran along the shore, picked up shells, climbed rocks, and chased each other through the mist. We kissed in the rain, laughing like kids in a rom-com. By the time we got back to the hotel, we were soaked, freezing, and grinning ear to ear. It was wild, messy, romantic—and totally worth it.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won $20,000, we’d put it toward our wedding in May 2026 in Texas, on a piece of land where we’ve planted wildflowers to bloom just in time. It would truly help us bring our dream day to life. And hey, we’d love to invite your editors to join us, snap some photos, and share our little love story. It’s not every day you get to celebrate love in a field of flowers!
