A cruise brought us together, love made us unstoppable. From Albania to California to Tennessee—we’re building forever.
We would like to thank you for supporting The Meles in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met on a Mediterranean cruise—me, the traveler, and him, the bartender. The moment our eyes met, it felt like a movie scene—we just knew. Cezar came from Albania, and together we’ve built a life full of love, family, and resilience. From California to Tennessee, raising two kids on our family compound and are now building a home for his parents too. Our love crossed oceans and created a legacy.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories is our wedding day in Santa Barbara. After dinner by the beach, we ran into the ocean in our wedding clothes, laughing and holding each other as strangers clapped and cheered. It was spontaneous, magical, and felt like the world was celebrating our love with us.
What would you do with $20,000?If we won, we’d invest every bit of it into our family property—improving our homes and creating beautiful, welcoming yards where our children can play, our parents can relax, and our love story can continue to grow across generations.
