Connect How did your love story begin?

We were friends of friends. One day our paths crossed and we just hit it off. The signs were there that we were interested in each other, and we just started hanging out. It didn’t take long for me to ask her out and start building our relationship. It wasn’t easy at first though because her dad was very strict and had a pretty much “no boys allowed” policy so I used to have to sneak into her house. One day, I got caught by her dad while hiding in the closet and yeahh well they love me now haha

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

Man there are so many that are precious to us. I’ll speak on our behalf and say Maui was a very memorable time for us both. It was our first and only time going to Hawaii and it was simply amazing. We rented a condo and got upgraded to a better one in Wailea, unfortunately because of the fires. We had to rent to mustang with the drop top to really embrace the beauty of cruising around the island. The locals, culture, and food were everything! We need to go back!

What would you do with $20,000?

Most likely take a few more memorable vacations, and invest the rest into something worthy. We’ve been renting a place for a couple years now and dream of buying a home where we currently are, but prices are crazy nowadays. And so, we grind. We grind towards the dream of having our own home while chasing our dreams. She’s into beauty and cosmetics, I am in the music scene. We both help our family businesses out while better furthering our craft.
