James and I are true high school sweet hearts, who choose each other and our marriage every day. He’s my best friend and my first everything
We would like to thank you for supporting Ruby and James 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.
James and I met when we were 14 and 16, playing a two v. two soccer game with friends. We were on the same team, won, and have been winning ever since! After a month of movie dates, I texted him “so I hear the kids call this dating these days?” And the rest is history.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?A few years ago, on Ocracoke Island in the OBX, James and I snuck through the nature preserve at night to the beach. Above us was the brilliance of the Milky Way, and below us there was some sort of bioluminescence where the waves met the shore. Just us, and the stars above and below. We both cried, just taking in that moment together.
What would you do with $20,000?James and I eloped in 2021, just us and our dog because that is what we could afford at the time (also, Covid). We have always dreamed of throwing a wedding style 5 year vow renewal party so that our families could be involved and we could recreate those special moments with them. The money would help us finally have a real wedding to celebrate our love the way it deserves.
