You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met by pure chance on a cool August night in 2022. Dustin was in town for a fantasy football draft trip, and Wendy was brewery hopping with her friends. Our paths crossed on the beach, and the spark was instant. Though we went our separate ways, we couldn’t shake the connection. A year later, we reunited, and love quickly followed. What started as a spontaneous night turned into the start of forever.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is when Dustin proposed in Lima, surrounded by my Peruvian family and the sound of waves. He had secretly planned it all, and I was completely surprised. That trip was everything, introducing him to my roots, showing him the streets of Marcona and the magic of La Huacachina. This vacation turned into our best days as a couple wrapped in culture, family, so much love and memories we will forever cherish.
What would you do with $20,000?We would love to build our first love nest, our home, help support our amazing families who’ve shaped us, and begin planning for a family of our own. This would be more than money to us, it would be the foundation for a future rooted in love, gratitude, and growth.
