You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
I went to a bar where she worked in Hawaii to celebrate with my friend that had just recently turned 21. Another guy had a few too many and sent her to find me to help get him in a cab. We spent the rest of the night dancing and hanging out. She came back to my place the next day and never left. A week later we got engaged, a month later we moved from Hawaii to New York and a month after that we got married.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Since we moved to Missouri we go to Bridal Cave and do a vow renewal ceremony every year. Only missed one year because of a snow storm. Last year we went bigger and joined in a large outdoor wedding at The Kansas City Renaissance Festival. We all walked in a parade and repeated vows on the jousting field. The person officiating did the ceremony like on the Princess Bride and I had successfully gotten her friends to show up without her knowing to surprise her.
What would you do with $20,000?We would buy an RV. We have been looking at them for awhile and just don't have enough put aside yet to buy one and travel. Our family is spread out all over the country and we never have time to see them all. This would allow us to take some time and enjoy life.
