Connect How did your love story begin?

We met by chance one night at a mutual friend’s house. I was getting attacked by mosquitoes, and without a word, he knelt down and sprayed bug spray on my legs—so simple, but so gentle, like he already cared. He let me charge my phone in his truck, and somehow, in those quiet little moments, something clicked. The connection was instant, undeniable. We were both carrying past pain, so we took it slow—but our hearts didn’t. One night turned into every night. We’ve been inseparable ever since

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

One of my favorite memories of us—maybe the best—is the night he finally asked me to be his girl. We had been inseparable since the night we met, but we were still calling it “just friends.” That night, something changed. He looked at me, serious but soft, and said, “I’m tired of this! Will u be my girl.” My heart skipped a beat. I smiled and said, “Little did you know, I’ve always been your girl.” It was simple, honest, and perfect—just like us. Since then, it’s been one heck of a ride!

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won $20,000, we’d use it to right some wrongs from our past by paying off old fines and finally getting our driver’s licenses back. With the rest, we’d put it toward buying an RV and living out our dream of traveling the U.S. together. From mountains to beaches, we want to explore it all, make up for lost time, and create beautiful, lasting memories side by side on the open road!
