IN 140 CHARACTERS?! Well basically, we met in the pandemic and then rode around on a Vespa in empty old Hollywood—the rest is history!
We would like to thank you for supporting Paige and Richie!! in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
In 2020, Paige masked up and went to pick up oysters from the grove farmer's market with family friend Martina--a few weeks later, Martina had oysters with Richie (former oyster shucker at Maison Premiere in Brooklyn). She sent the text, "hey Paige, I think I have a guy to introduce you to?" Then, on New Year's Day 2021, P&R each waited in long lines for expensive rapid COVID tests, got positive results, then talked for the entire day by a pool in Palm Springs-we've never stopped chatting since!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Of course this is so hard! But our trip to Ireland was extremely special. We both value quality time, great food and drinks, new experiences, and meeting with new friends! Ireland was unseasonably warm and sunny, and one gorgeous day, we drove round the country roads outside of Dingle and found ourselves on the completely empty Clogher Beach. We slipped off our clothes down to our swimsuits and jumped in the freezing--but restorative--North Atlantic waters. It was quiet, magical, & a lot of fun!
What would you do with $20,000?We would absolutely have to go on a trip together. Italy or France, or maybe Switzerland! We could follow our hearts at the time. But whichever destination, we'd get to have a true vacation, the kind where you don't question ordering dessert or another glass of wine, no checking of bank balances to make sure we have enough before buying the handmade artisan gift we're not sure we can fit in our suitcase, but must have anyway. The rest would be for making home even warmer and more us. <3
