Our life together has been nothing short of an adventure. We’re not just a couple; we’re friends, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ruben and Carlos 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.
Our modern love story began with Ruben sliding into Carlos’s DMs.. We lived 200 miles away from each other. A few months later we had a first date, roller blading on a Florida beach boardwalk which ended up being a whole weekend together. Since then we spent every weekend together driving 200 miles to see each other. It was hard to separate us. Carlos finally made the move to Fort Lauderdale from Naples 2 years later and we bought our first house.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Going on our first vacation together to Puerto Rico. Seeing that we got along so well and liked to do the same things, being adventurous. At this point Ruben knew he could spend the rest of his life with Carlos.
What would you do with $20,000?We would pay for one of our dog’s medical bills, she’s a 9 year old mini schnauzer with congestive heart failure and the rest put towards our wedding.
