We were long distance 1377 miles apart for the first 5 years, now we have been together for over 11 years and married for 3 months!
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!
When I was 14 and he was 15 years old, we followed eachother on Ifunny, we had no idea what each other looked like when we first started talking, we talked every single day, became best friends and would FaceTime every night. He asked me out and we dated long distance over FaceTime for a year and a half before ever meeting face to face. When we finally met, I was 15 and he was 16, we connected immediately and the connection was stronger than ever. As soon as I graduated high school I moved him.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory as a couple is our moment alone right after we got married. We were so exited and even though we have been together 11 years it felt like we were just beginning our lives together. We laughed and stared at eachther in awe that we could finally call eachother husband and wife. It was magical and I’ll never forget the best day of our lives.
What would you do with $20,000?In January, less than 2 months before our wedding , I got hit by a distracted driver and totaled my car. We have been sharing a car ever since and it really put a lot more stress and financial burden on us so close to our wedding. We still haven’t been able to bounce back and we would love to get me another used car so that we can start saving our money for our honeymoon that we haven’t gotten to take yet due to having to save for another car.
