How did your love story begin?

Joel was in a band and his band’s guitarist and my friend Brandi conspired to set us up in 2012. Joel was not looking for love- but after some convincing, allowed the set up . We dated 8 months then he broke up with me cold turkey. No calls. No texts. Nothing. We didn’t live in the same state so we never crossed paths after that. 7.5 years later, Joel was on a walk and God brought me to his mind out of the blue and he reached out to grab coffee and clean the slate. And now we’re married!

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

Aside from our Christmas Eve proposal & Maldivian honeymoon, a fave memory for us is fasting (water only ) for 7 days while praying whether or not to start a relationship the second time around. We didn’t see each other during that time and Joel wasn’t sure what my answer would be- he says it’s the hardest he’s worked for anything lol. But we got confirmation to move forward & here we are!

What would you do with $20,000?

We would like to start a family soon so I’m sure some would go to that for all the necessities :) also pay my mom back for a wedding loan she gave us, give to our home church. He loves F1 racing so go to Monaco to sip espresso at a cafe and watch the race! I’m actually writing a book about our story so would def use it to put toward publishing ! Real love. Real laughs. Real legacy! Let’s do this!
