How did your love story begin?

My (now husband) knew my dad (both in music in russia). They were buddies for about a year when I finally asked my dad who he was talking to all the time, and the same day, Vlad messaged me on facebook. we never stopped talking after that! He didn’t even know english - we first communicated through facebook messenger, then we would skype while typing so we could each translate the messages, and then we finally started talking! We had miles between us and had a huge language barrier

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

I love our k-1 visa journey. We knew we wanted to be together forever before we had even ever met in person. Our first week together in person was so wonderful. I flew to moscow and we made memories all around the city. The leaving was hard. We spent HOURS working on our application only to sit and wait for months. We had this common goal and nothing would stand in the way of us finally being able to not have to say goodbye again. And we did it!!!

What would you do with $20,000?

We would love to save this money to buy a house with some property. Our goal is to start a family, rescue more animals, and make more life memories together.
