We swore we’d never meet—then came a bet, confusion, a dead raccoon, and a leap of courage… and somehow, we fell hard.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
After 6 years of silence, a family funeral reunited me with my sister—pregnant, living on a remote island, and determined to set me up with her boyfriend’s friend. I was in my career-girl, no-romance era, but curiosity won. Brent showed up in DIY jorts, won a kiss with marshmallows from his elderly neighbor, and tripped over a dead raccoon walking me home. I planned to ghost him… but he moved closer, made me laugh, and made falling in love way too easy.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?I asked Brent out—drunkenly—using the excuse that I needed help building an IKEA shelf. On our first date, we couldn’t stop talking; the food sat untouched as sparks flew. He paused mid-convo, looked at me, and said with a grin, “You’re moving to Texada.” On the way home, I yelled at him for driving uninsured—welcome to the city. Back at my place, things heated up fast… until he abruptly kissed me goodnight and left. I was stunned—then came the text: “I can’t wait to see you again.
What would you do with $20,000?I would love to buy Brent his dream truck or take our family on vacation
