Connect How did your love story begin?

Daniel and I met as teenagers and quickly became best friends. Nearly eight years later, we’re still choosing each other every day. Our relationship has been built on faith, trust, and commitment through every stage of life. As Christians, we’ve chosen to save intimacy for marriage and focus on building a strong foundation first. Recently, Daniel proposed, and we’re excitedly planning our April 2027 wedding.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our recent Disneyland trip as newly engaged fiancés is a memory we’ll never forget. It was Daniel’s first time visiting, and seeing his excitement made the experience even more special. Walking through the park hand in hand, celebrating our engagement, and dreaming about our future together reminded us how far we’ve come—from high school sweethearts to planning a lifetime together. It was a day filled with joy, gratitude, and love.

What would you do with $20,000?

After nearly eight years together, we’ve learned that building a strong future is just as important as planning a beautiful wedding. As newly engaged fiancés, we would use $20,000 to help with wedding expenses and invest in our future. Daniel is passionate about making smart financial decisions that will set our family up for success, and this opportunity would help us grow our savings, invest for the future, and start married life on the strongest foundation possible.
