We’ve know each other our whole lives, and despite all the hardships we faced, we found love and peace with one another.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met as children at our local church. Our families knew each other long before we were born. Over the years, our feelings grew. Although we came in and out of each other lives, deep down we knew we were each others’ true love. Three years ago, my sister passed away and Eustacio got out of a rough relationship. We both found solace in one another, starting to spend more time together, and eventually confessed our love for one another. This year we’ll be celebrating year two of marriage.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It would be when Eustacio first asked me out on a date. He was at work when he sent a text saying he wanted to say something but didn’t want to make it awkward between us. I told him that wasn’t possible. It took him a few hours to respond due to work and I was extremely anxious, wanting to know what he had to say. Finally, he told me that he has had feelings for me from a very young age and wanted to start dating. My heart skipped a beat and I immediately said yes, I had felt the same way too.
What would you do with $20,000?If we win the $20,000, we would put that money towards buying a home. Our dream is to have a place of our own, where we can start a family, have a garden, and have somewhere our future children can always count on being there for them. A house to us isn’t just a roof over our heads, it would be a legacy that’s passed down to our kids, and then maybe one day their kids too. It would be a home where we can continue to create beautiful memories, and our love can continue to blossom.
