Connect How did your love story begin?

Stormie and I met like any stereotypical millennial couple on a dating website. She messaged me as a joke, thinking I was AI (too pretty to be real) To her surprise, I wasn’t—and we hit it off instantly. From our very first meeting, we felt an undeniable connection. What started as a huge joke quickly turned into something real. It was love at first sight, and we haven’t looked back since. Our story may have started with a laugh, but it’s grown into sparks flying and true love!

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

One of our wildest adventures was when I surprised Stormie with front row tickets to her very first concert—Post Malone and Jelly Roll. She had no idea until we were standing at the stage. The look on her face was pure magic. The energy, the lights, the music—it was unforgettable. And the craziest part? After the concert by pure coincidence we got to hug Post Malone. Seeing her that happy, living a dream she never expected, made it one of the best nights of our lives.

What would you do with $20,000?

Stormie is a registered nursing assistant caring for elderly in their end of life care, and I’m a pediatric forensic psychologist caring for children and their families mental health. We’ve both dedicated our lives to helping others, and with $20,000, we’d invest in creating a peaceful space to recharge with a cozy home makeover. After giving so much of ourselves to those we care for, this would be a chance to focus on us and build a foundation for a lifetime of love, and continued service.
