Connect How did your love story begin?

We met at soundcheck for a show we were both playing. Conrado plays bass and I sing and play piano. He was the first person to speak to me at that show. We followed each other on social media, and six months later I went to another show his band was playing. We started talking after he played and the rest is history! Now, almost four years later, we’ve built a band together and play music all the time!

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

Three months into dating we went on a road trip from Los Angeles to Portland all in one night. Although the trip was so much fun and so worth it, we hit a lot of bumps along the way. Because of this we got to know the full truth of each other on that trip, the good and bad, the easy and the hard, the positive and the negative. We became a real couple on the journey and came out the other end stronger, more supportive and rooted in the relationship.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we had $20,000 we would finally be able to get engaged, afford a wedding and have a honeymoon! We’re ready for that next step in our relationship, and although we’re both so grateful for jobs that pay all of our bills and keep us living in Los Angeles, we don’t have enough to afford to get married. If our love wins us money, then that money will be spent on our love!
