From the way we met, to the way we persevered through long distance, and now thriving together is rare and commendable. We made it all work.
We would like to thank you for supporting Riley & Erika 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.
Madrid, Spain! I (Erika) was on vacation with my best friend and Riley was living there with a roommate who happened to be friends with my best friend. We went on a date before I left and we have been inseparable since. Erika drove from Georgia to live in California with Riley.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We both really loved our first date. Riley took me to try paella for the first time then we went to a rooftop bar overlooking the city. After the bar we went to Retiro Park in Madrid and watched the sunset by the water.
What would you do with $20,000?We would pay off some debt and take a trip to China or Japan for our anniversary (coming soon)! We love adventures and experiencing new things so we’ve been itching for a new country to visit.
