Connect How did your love story begin?

Matt had asked Tamarra out for a date to a sushi restaurant, which Tamarra agreed to even though she hates sushi because Matt’s cheesy charm in his messages to her was paying off. Even though the date started out rough with Matt mispronouncing Tamarra’s name, we both felt time fly by as we talked about our favorite movies, laughed at each other’s jokes, and enjoyed each other’s company. It felt like the kind of first date that would be the start of something very special, and we were right.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Tamarra was dropping Matt off at his apartment after going to see a special showing of “The Thing,” which is Matt’s favorite horror movie. On the way home, Tamarra had said that she was worried the movie was going to give her nightmares. When Matt got out of the car to say goodbye to Tamarra, he told her that the best way to stop nightmares was to have a goodnight kiss. It was so cheesy and silly, but Tamarra let out a little laugh, smiled, and we kissed for the very first time.

What would you do with $20,000?

Tamarra and Matt would love to go on their dream honeymoon destination, Japan. Tamarra and Matt have both grown up being fans of Japanese culture which we experienced through movies, anime, games, and wrestling. The opportunity to explore Tokyo, see Mt. Fuji, partake in authentic Japanese cuisine, and visit the furry inhabitants of Okunoshima (aka Bunny Island) would be a dream come true.
