Sean and I met through my cousin, but the story actually started a few years earlier. He’d been following me on Instagram since 2019, just quietly keeping an eye out, hoping for a chance to get to know me. When my cousin finally invited us both out one night, we clicked right away. There was an instant connection. A few weeks later, we ended up talking for hours at my place, and I knew the chemistry was real. I didn’t know everything yet, but I had a feeling he was my person.

One of our favorite memories is moving into our first apartment together. Turning an empty space into a lil piece of home filled with laughter, shared meals, and late-night talks has been incredibly special. There's something deeply comforting about knowing we get to come home to each other every day, it brings a sense of peace, love, and belonging that’s hard to put into words. Building a life together, one cozy moment at a time, has truly been a dream come true.

We’d use the $20,000 to create lasting and meaningful memories with the people who matter most. We’re hoping one day to settle down and build a future together, so this money would be a beautiful way to lay that foundation. We would spend the money on a romantic getaway we’ve always dreamed of and maybe a small, heartfelt celebration with our closest friends/family. We want to honor this chapter of our lives in a way that feels true to us and this is a wonderful opportunity to start our future.
