Fast love. Lasting love. Engaged in 3 weeks, married in 41 days. Almost a decade in built on trust, friendship, and forever.
We would like to thank you for supporting Erica and Marcus in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met at a neighborhood bar through mutual friends. The moment I walked in, Marcus stood up and asked, “Where have you been hiding her?” We talked briefly before I left, but he chased me outside to give me his business card. That night we talked until sunrise, and he asked me to dinner the next day. Three weeks later we were engaged, and just 41 days after we met, we became husband and wife. We simply knew.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It’s hard to choose just one because our favorite memories are often the simplest. Whether we’re hosting a backyard barbecue, filling our home with family and friends, or staying up late talking and laughing together, those ordinary moments have become extraordinary. The best part of every memory isn’t what we’re doing it’s that we’re doing it together. Home has never been a place. It’s been us.
What would you do with $20,000?After years of putting responsibilities first, we’d finally say yes to ourselves. We’d take a dream vacation, invest in our future, and celebrate the love that’s carried us through every season of life. The greatest prize is already having each other, but this would help us create memories that last a lifetime.
