We found each other when life was hard—and made it beautiful. Love like ours doesn’t quit. 💖
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met online—I couldn’t resist her smile, so I sent a waving minion (yep, that’s our origin story). We talked for a month, and by the time we met, it already felt like love. Crab legs on date one (no shame in the butter mess), finishing each other’s sentences, and realizing we had the same childhood dreams. We knew it was real at Lake Michigan, when we laughed, stripped to our undies, and ran into the water. Late in life, but right on time.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We’ve made countless memories—cruising to Bimini, road-tripping across 16 states, exploring Key West and D.C.—but our favorite is our wedding day. We got married by my best friend in Saugatuck, Michigan on a perfect fall day. The sun was shining, the lake was glowing, and golden leaves danced around us. It was simple, joyful, and everything we are: full of love, laughter, and light. A moment we’ll never forget.
What would you do with $20,000?This fall, we’re hitting the road to visit every national park—and we’d love to vlog the journey! $20,000 would help us create meaningful content that connects people to nature and reminds everyone that the outdoors is for all of us. From gear to gas to storytelling tools, we’re ready to inspire, explore, and show the world that love and adventure have no limits.
