We had known each other for years, but never imagined our story would become what it is today. We first met through my job and he was a customer, and I always thought he was incredibly handsome, never knowing he felt the same. Life took us in different directions, but years later, during a season of change for both of us, we reconnected. Small conversations turned into exchanged numbers, friendship turned into love, and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

If you asked him, he’d probably say the day he proposed or our wedding day. But for me, my favorite memory isn’t one specific moment—it’s all of the moments he stood beside me through life’s hardest seasons. Through heartbreak, loss, change, and the moments I carried worry and pain for the people I love most, he held me, listened, and reminded me I never had to carry it alone. That kind of love is my favorite memory and one we continue to create for each other every day.

If we won $20,000, we’d spend it creating unforgettable memories together. As we step into our empty nester years, we want to fill this next chapter with adventure, travel, and intentional time together. We’ve learned that life moves fast, and the moments we cherish most aren’t things they’re experiences. We’d make the most of every getaway and every chance to keep writing our love story.
