Me and Ebony balance each other, my drive meets her warmth, my vision with her heart makes us unstoppable

We both lived in NY—my family owns a bakery, her brother-in-law owns a deli we delivered to. I was the driver, she was the cashier, but we never met. Fast forward to COVID, my brother and I moved to Florida and opened a bagel shop. Her sister became our first employee, and Ebony joined a few months later. After working together (she was our best employee), we started dating. She says it was fate—I call it employee retention.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our first Valentine’s Day in Paris—just 6 months into dating. We went straight to the Eiffel Tower, then had the fanciest 7-course meal of our lives. We tried wild dishes like veal throat and laughed the whole time. I still joke that no other Valentine’s Day can top that one.
What would you do with $20,000?If we won the $20,000, we’d use it to fly our families out to our destination wedding in Italy. We’re planning to get married at Castle Brancaccio, but many of our loved ones wouldn’t be able to afford the trip so we’re second thinking it. This would help us celebrate with everyone we love by our side.
