Every great love story starts somewhere, and ours started online with a simple game: "Would You Rather?" Before we ever met in person, we spent hours getting to know each other through endless conversations and ridiculous hypothetical questions. Looking back, it was probably the easiest and funniest icebreaker imaginable. We laughed our way through every conversation.The one question that still stands out to this day was, "Would you rather fight a bear or a shark?”

Once we finally agreed to meet for dinner. Like any smart woman meeting someone from the internet, Angie came prepared. As fate would have it, we actually ran into each other in the parking lot before making it inside the restaurant. Neither of us was completely sure who the other person was at first, and Angie, always staying on her toes, had her mace firmly in hand just in case. Once we realized who we were and what was happening, we couldn't stop laughing. The awkwardness disappeared.

Just like our relationship, our old car is a work in progress that we've enjoyed building together. If we won $20,000, we'd put it toward restoring the classic car we purchased as a long-time dream project. We'd spend our weekends side by side in the garage, bringing it back to life one piece at a time. For us, it's not just about the finished car—it's about the time spent together, the memories we create, and the satisfaction of building something we both love.
