How did your love story begin?

In the summer of 2015, Riccardo and I, James, first met in Houston, Texas. Having recently moved from L.A., I started visiting Bayou City, where Riccardo worked as a bartender. It took about a month for us to connect, but when we finally did, it felt like love at first sight. We formed a genuine bond, free from the influence of dating apps or artificial pretenses, and instead, our connection grew from natural attraction, playful banter, and a good drink, ultimately leading to ten wonderful years

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

The day of our wedding was nothing short of magical. We were fortunate enough to have a fairytale-like wedding in the captivating city of Paris, famously known as The City of Love. With our mothers and other family and friends by our side, the event was utterly flawless. Unbeknownst to us, our wedding photos went viral and have set a new standard for same-sex weddings.

What would you do with $20,000?

We recently purchased our first home together and would do some renovations that we really want.
