Connect How did your love story begin?

It all started with a dance. It was the start of the Fall semester, and my sophomore year at my Alma Mater, St. John's University in Queens, NY where we first met. I was attending the well-known icebreaker party Marc's Fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. threw every year. Marc was strolling with his brothers, while my roommates and I were dancing. Suddenly, Marc abruptly bumped into me knocking me off balance. Let’s just say I fell into his arms. And the rest was history.

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

Thailand! From staying in a private villa, petting tigers, sailing to the Phi Phi islands, and more in Phuket. Then strutting through the streets of Bangkok, getting the best massages, and local eats. Then climbing a 7-tier waterfall, river rafting, and playing with monkeys and elephants in Kanchanaburi, this trip was nothing short of an adventure! Hands down, it's our best trip yet!!

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay off Flight school debt. Although our relationship has taken us around the world, the past few years put us at a standstill with an inconceivable amount of debt in pursuit of becoming a Pilot. Not to mention, planning a wedding in 2025 is nothing short of an expense. It would be the biggest blessing to win the $20,000 to alleviate the stress this pursuit has created. Everyone deserves a chance to pursue their dreams. We planted the seeds, help us see our fruits
