We’ve built something beautiful over the past 15 years, something grounded in love, strengthened by our faith in God.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Our love began generations before us. Our families grew up together in 1960s Chicago. Decades later, fate introduced us, and we started as friends, both healing from past heartbreak. One unforgettable night beneath Chicago’s lights, a kiss changed everything. A lakeside proposal followed. Now 15 years married, we’re still best friends who laugh daily and lean on faith and love. Our story proves the best love starts with friendship and grows stronger every year.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our first trip together, to New Orleans for New Year’s 2009. My wife had just won the trip for her hard work. We were newly dating, nervous about spending days together. It was our first flight together and yet it felt so familiar. From rooftop parties to a community cleanup and the Sugar Bowl, we made unforgettable memories. The best part? After all that time together, we couldn’t wait for more.
What would you do with $20,000?We would use the $20,000 to pay off debt, support my husband as he completes seminary, and build a more secure future for our family. After 15 years of marriage, we believe in planting seeds today that will bless not only our family, but others we can help along the way.
