Unusual love story that seems to captivate everyone we tell. We laugh together every single day. We’re great communicators. We are best buds
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met in September 2009 through eHarmony when Alex was still in the Marines and deployed in Okinawa and Val was working at a resort as the lodge chef in Bhutan. We hit it off chatting immediately and took things to Skype. We talked any day we could, often for hours at a time. In December we met in person in Germany, where Val is originally from. Alex met extended family there over the next 10 days. On day 6 he called his mom and told her he’d met his future wife.
What would you do with $20,000?We love camping and roadtripping, especially to see the National Parks and Forests. We‘ve already done several longe roadtrips, but we want to see absolutely everything. We would use $20k to upgrade our camping gear, donate to the NPS, and pay to have some of our friends and family join us on a trip up and down the US West Coast.
