Connect How did your love story begin?

On our first date, we both were tentative going into it, but we ended up closing down the restaurant because it went so well! We have been inseparable ever since. It was love at first site for both of us, and Zane pursued me with a fervor after that date. We both come from hard pasts, but every day is easy as long as we have each other. We fall more in love every day. We truly believe that we are soulmates and will love each other in every lifetime.

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

We love to travel and since we have been together, we have been on six vacations in four different places around the world. Every new experience we have together is something we hold dear. In Nov 2025, we went to the Dominican Republic for Grey’s 30th birthday. It was a week of incredible experiences, beautiful scenery, and celebration together. Grey tried circus trapeze for the first time, we took Latin dancing classes, snorkeled the local reef, and many more memories we will always cherish.

What would you do with $20,000?

Currently we are preparing for our wedding and our future together. With $20,000, we could have a great new start to our life without incurring any debt during the wedding planning. We want a modest wedding with our closest friends and family, but weddings are still expensive in this economy. With the leftovers, we would be able to contribute to our “Buy A Home” fund! It would truly be a blessing to start our married life together debt-free and peacefully.
