A month after meeting, I proposed. Today, we're raising four incredible boys, growing in faith, and building a beautiful life together.
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!
My wife moved from Florida to Forney, Texas, and after a month, expanded her Bumble search radius to an hour, where I was the only person she swiped right on. We clicked instantly, talked nonstop for a week, and when we finally met, everything changed. I proposed just one month after our first date on a bench at Haak Winery near Houston without a ring. Soon as we got back to Forney, I snuck out to go get her a ring to wear.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory together is our honeymoon. Wanting to stay close to home not far from our newborn, we chose Hotel Drover II Ft. Worth for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed amazing food, spent time by the pool and in the hot tub, and even made it to a Texas Rangers game, where we shared the Ultimate Nachos we still crave. Was the perfect mix of romance and fun we needed.
What would you do with $20,000?If we won $20,000, we would finally take the honeymoon we’ve always dreamed about, somewhere farther away with a beach, mountain views, and the romance of a true getaway. If not spent on travel, we would invest every dollar into our children’s future through experiences, education, and opportunities that will shape their lives for years to come.
