We swore off love—then found each other. Now we laugh louder, love harder, and prove every day that “last chances” make the best forever. ❤️
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Our love story began with a sunset cruise on the Boston Harbor. From that very first date, we were inseparable—traveling the world together and turning even the most ordinary moments, like grocery shopping, into unforgettable adventures. What started as one perfect evening quickly became a lifetime of laughter, love, and shared dreams.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our sunset wedding on a yacht on the Boston Harbor—exactly two years after our first date in the same spot. Coming full circle to say “I do” where our love story began was magical, meaningful, and everything we dreamed it would be.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d put the $20,000 toward a down payment on a home—a place big enough for our kids and 6 grandkids to gather, laugh, and make lifelong memories. Our current 2-bedroom apartment just doesn’t cut the mustard for family visits and holidays, and we dream of creating a space where love and laughter fill every room.
