The rare amount of empathy, space and care that we give to one another, even in the face of exhaustion and sadness is incredible.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Short Answer? Ryan slid into my DMs. Long Answer? After both of us had become content not finding love, chance happened to look in our direction. During COVID, a local Meme page had made a match-making post asking their audience to answer the question "What makes you datable?" Thinking nothing of it I answered. It just so happened, that Ryan's best friend's wife, who I went to High School with, saw the comment and sent it to him. From there we became best friends and then partners.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Due to our concert cancelling, we decided to throw caution to the wind and just wonder around East Village. We bar hopped throughout the burrow and bought clothes at thrift shops and bouquet stores. Then stumbled upon the best cocktails in a jazz bar and the worst at a speakeasy. Tried different sakes at a bar in someone's basement. Then ate ice cream that tasted like an everything bagel. Lastly, we had philosophical conversation, in Japanese and in English, at 2am in a bookstore. Thanks NYC!
What would you do with $20,000?We are very practical people when it comes to funds. Therefore we would place some of the funds aside for filing for our marriage license and honeymoon. In addition, we would clear up some small debts, and place the rest towards our savings and continue funding our life together.
