Connect How did your love story begin?

Our story began when I first saw her working at the grocery store near my place. I noticed her right away. A little while later, we matched on Tinder—it felt like fate. We started talking, meeting up, and sitting in the car just talking for hours. We even took a spontaneous road trip from Virginia to Arizona. When we got back, we moved in together & We’ve taken a few more trips too. It’s been almost four amazing years, and nothing makes me happier than seeing her smile. We’ve got forever ahead.

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

One of my favorite memories is the New Year’s video we take together every year. It’s simple, but it means everything to me. Each clip holds a little piece of who we were that year—laughing, loving, growing. Sometimes I rewatch them and smile, knowing that one day we’ll string them all together and see the beautiful story of us unfold, year by year, moment by moment.

What would you do with $20,000?

We dream of moving out of this cozy one-bedroom and into a home of our own. Somewhere we can grow, build, and create new memories. We’ve talked about our future, and nothing excites us more than starting a family together in our forever home. It’s not just a house we’re after; it’s a life full of love, laughter, and everything we’ve ever hoped for, side by side.
