The Strange

We met 2 months after his ex passed and I helped him believe not only that love still existed but that he was capable of being loved again.

How did your love story begin?

My best friend found him on grindr and the two of them didn't get on in that way, but they thought he would be a perfect fit for me. They invited him to my birthday party and we immediately felt a spark. We didn't talk for 3 months after that, but as soon as we started talking again it was instant love. We got together after 9 days of talking, I moved in after 2 months, and we've been together ever since.

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

For valentine's day this year, we went on a hike at the Acadiana Park Nature Station. The trail is 1.7 miles, but we hiked for 2.4 miles because we got off the trail and got a bit lost. When we were the most lost, I asked him to stop walking for a few minutes, handed him a card I had written a letter in, and when he finished reading the card I was on one knee and asked him to marry me. He said he thought he wouldn't cry, but ended up crying quite a bit, and we finished the hike happily engaged!

What would you do with $20,000?

We would use the money to move out of our 40 year old trailer and into a real house. It would go towards the deposit and rent, plus paying for the uhaul to move all of our stuff. The remaining money would go towards having our dream wedding, though our wedding will be small. If anything is still left after that, it will help pay off our parents' debt.
