How did your love story begin?

We met in Head Start—barely old enough to write our names, yet something eternal stirred. Years later, our paths crossed again as teens, and we knew—I couldn’t let her slip away. Our moms saw it too; they helped orchestrate what we now call the most divine "arranged marriage." From playgrounds to promises, our love has always been God-authored, beautifully timed, and deeply rooted.

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

Marrying each other—so young, so pure, and so full of faith—is our forever favorite. That day, we weren't just saying "I do" to a moment—we were planting a lifetime. From that altar, we built a family, became caretakers for our parents, and are now “Papi & Lovee” to our granddaughters, our Kisses. That moment was the beginning of a love that still gives us butterflies.

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d honor this win with purpose: pay down debt to breathe easier, invest to bless future generations, give back because love always does, and travel to celebrate 42 years of “forever us.” This win isn’t just for us—it’s for every couple who believes God still writes the best love stories, and that soulmates are real—even if they met in Head Start.
