Connect How did your love story begin?

It began with a forgotten Americano! Tay, a barista in downtown Phoenix, forgot Rae's coffee as a first time customer to the shop, but her vibrant presence sparked an instant connection. Rae felt as though she was struck by lighting and finally became a believer of “love at first sight”. That embarrassing moment brewed into multiple 7 hour pizza dates and late-night talks, where Rae aced Tay's "tests" with flying colors, melting his once-stone heart with a whole latte love!

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

Our favorite memory was truly took Tay be surprise. Shortly after meeting, we escaped to Flagstaff. Picture this: Tay, in a moment of pure clumsiness, salsa-fied Rae's pristine white sweatshirt. His heart sank, bracing for the inevitable storm. But instead of anger, a wave of pure joy and laughter erupted from Rae. It was a sound that both perplexed and captivated Tay. That unbridled mirth in the face of a ruined outfit solidified everything. Who knew spilled salsa could lead to a soulmate?

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning $20k would be an incredible blessing, allowing us to pour into what truly matters. First, we'd secure our future, placing a down payment on our dream home in Phoenix , a sacred space where our love can continue to grow and flourish. But beyond that, we'd establish a "Community Roots Fund" to nurture the very soil that grew our connection: supporting local artists, small businesses, and especially independent coffee shops, who often fuel dreams on a shoestring.
