It started with a stare from across the room. We connected, a quiet silly Minnesotan chef and a cute charismatic Memphis native...who knew.
We would like to thank you for supporting Ryan and Denise 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 Love is like a flower: it grew and blossomed from a little seed. The story begins at a local speed dating event, yes speeding dating. It was as awkward as you think. When I met Ryan, we hit it off naturally. But Ryan continued to watch me from across the room as I went to chat with others. I couldn't stop thinking about him, everyone else became uninteresting. There was something about the way he looked at me then and still does today. It's like I'm the only one in the room every time.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Ryan said every time I smile at him that's his new favorite memory. But one day Ryan called and said "Hey can you be ready tonight at 7pm". I replied yes and quickly found a little black dress. I was nervous. He picked me up and drove downtown to the grand Orpheum Theatre. An usher greeted us and showed us to two mid row seats for a popular musical. I was ecstatic. I lip synced the entire time and as the curtains closed, confetti covered us. He then turned to me and we kissed. Time stopped.
What would you do with $20,000?Being America's favorite couple and winning 20k would be amazing and so fun. We want to grow our small business and develop more fun family products. We would also use some for a simple wedding reception with our friends and families.
