We turned coffee, chaos, and big dreams into a life together, and somehow still choose each other; make each other laugh every single day.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
We met on Coffee Meets Bagel, and after one unforgettable first date, neither of us looked back. What started as a simple connection grew into a life built on shared dreams, countless adventures, and eventually a coffee company of our own. Today, we’re preparing for our biggest adventure yet—marriage.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our engagement in Puerto Vallarta. Valerie thought we were simply taking sunrise photos on the beach, but Chris had a different plan. In the middle of our photoshoot, Chris got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. The surprise and joy in that moment is something we’ll cherish forever.
What would you do with $20,000?We met on Coffee Meets Bagel dating app, started a coffee company together, got engaged in Puerto Vallarta, and are now planning our wedding. The $20,000 would help us celebrate the next chapter of our story surrounded by the family and friends who have supported us from our first date to “I do.”
