Friends for 22 years, together for 12. We built our love on friendship, laughter, family, faith, and choosing each other every 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!
Our love story started with decorated trash cans. After 22 years of friendship, I messaged Damian to complain about a new workplace recycling program that replaced our trash cans with popcorn buckets we were supposed to decorate. We laughed, caught up, and a few days later he asked me out. Twelve years later, we're still laughing—and now we're married. 😊
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memories are the adventures we've shared—from completing a muddy obstacle course together to road-tripping across the country. Whether we're exploring New Orleans, D.C., or Myrtle Beach, our best moments aren't about the destination—they're about laughing, discovering new things, and making memories side by side.
What would you do with $20,000?We would use it to travel, make memories with our family, and give back. Road trips and new experiences are our favorite, so we’d plan an adventure, set some aside for our future, and find a way to bless someone else like Damian always does.
