Met in sophomore English—instant spark. I talk, he listens (or does what I say). We love to travel and he always goes above and beyond.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met in sophomore English—he was the mysterious new kid in our small school. Our teacher assigned seats, and after I told her about my crush, she placed me right next to him. From passing notes to late-night talks, our bond grew. Now, years later, we’re in Thailand riding elephants, petting tigers, and living the adventure of a lifetime together.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is when he visited my home village. I’ve always hidden my Asian side, but he brought it out with so much love—trying every new food, learning my language, and embracing my culture. He told me he loves every part of me, including the parts I used to hide.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d invest in our future—help pay my out-of-state tuition as I pursue forensic psychology, and support him through auto mechanic trade school so he can become a certified technician. We’re both chasing our dreams, and this would ease the financial stress and help us build a stable, debt-free life together.
