How did your love story begin?

Our modern day love story started 10 years ago on twitter, having common followers and stumbling upon each others profiles. We met in March and a month later were dating, we both just knew that what we had was so real even at 17. Our first date was on take your child to work day where we had a 10 hour long date ranging from brunch to the park and ending at the art museum. After that 10 hour date, we both went home and changed to go on our second date that same night to eat sushi.

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

Our wedding was the most abundantly love filled weekend we could’ve imagined. We felt that our people poured so much of their love into our cups in a way that we hope every married couple feels loved. It really was just us up on that altar and on the dance floor with our first dance. It was so special to see all family and our different friend groups mesh so well together that we’re planning our first wedding anniversary to be a repeat with all wedding guests invited but different destination

What would you do with $20,000?

We would facilitate funding an investment in our future. Our 10 year plan is to invest in properties to rent out for additional income. We would want to invest this money in addition to our existing savings to buy our first property. This money would be our jumpstart into creating an addition source of income in owning multiple properties and renting them out.
