I met him at 17 & 4 months later he popped the question! Here we are still inlove 22 years later with four children, 3 dogs & a cat.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
For years I would see him around, picking up his sister at my middle school, city fairs, his work (McDonald’s), in passing. We never spoke until the day we met at one of my schoolmates sweet 16. His sister called me over & introduced us. He took my hand & kissed it, introducing himself. It felt like a fairytale, no one had ever kissed my hand before. I could feel myself blush. He asked me if I would dance with him. I told him I only danced salsa. He went to the DJ & we danced the night away.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory has been bringing our children into the world, seeing what we have created together. Our oldest was born when I was 18 & a high school senior. I was married the summer going into my senior year of high school. So many doubted me/us, but here we are! Our oldest is now a US Navy Sailor in Nuclear Operations. Our daughter graduated high school this year & we have two younger ones (boys) that are just as amazing as the oldest two. We were crazy inlove back then & crazy inlove now.
What would you do with $20,000?We are trying to transition back to the state we met in Florida and that would give us the opportunity to make the move sooner as we wait on our home to be sold. We may also be able to squeeze in our dream trip around Europe.
