How did your love story begin?

Derek added me on Snapchat totally random. I normally don't add people randomly as I have like list and list of people I've ignored that added me but that day when he added I had a gut instinct that I needed to add him and so I did. First thing I asked him was "how old are you?" He was in Nebraska for work while I was in Wisconsin but originally his from Appleton which is like 40 minutes away. We talked on the phone, we video chat making sure his a real person. It was like it was meant to be.

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

We just celebrated our one year bliss. We got a puppy a mini golden doodle name Milo and bought a house. During our 6 months we went on vacation to Punta Cana for seven days. It was his first trip outside of the country so it was special and meaningful. Can't wait to make more amazing adventures together.

What would you do with $20,000?

Future wedding cost, go on a honeymoon or fullfil our dream vacation to Bora Bora.
