How did your love story begin?

We met Senior year of Highschool, we fell in love over after school frozen yogurt dates. We insistently had a connection with each other but we were both highly skeptical about it, but I'm glad we took that chance. Now looking back, I've realized there's so many pictures of us in each others phone standing in the background before we even realized "hey I think I'm interested in this person".

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

Our shared favorite memory is the first time we said I love you to each other, we broke up for after senior year ended for 2 weeks and it was awful, we knew nothing about love and how to be a strong significant other. After the 2 weeks we had decided to see each other face to face to make sure we were doing the right thing, but we got back together and said "I love you" instead. Since then we've had multiple birthdays, Christmases, together and it's been great!

What would you do with $20,000?

We would split it in half! Niko would use it to take a chance on himself and his career. I (Raquel), however would start my dream flower shop, despite my student loan debt.
