How did your love story begin?

I was quarantined at my mother's house, and unbeknownst to me, my brother was throwing a go away party for a friend, on my last recovery day. Everyone there was under 24, except for one young lady named Irene. I joined the party to have a few drinks, and look over to see a group of people, standing, and talking. In the middle of them,was Irene, sitting, as they spoke around her. Seeing she was not being included, I interrupted all the conversations, to ask her to join me for a game of beerpong

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

Too difficult to choose a favor. However, our visit to Peru to meet her family was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Seeing what community really looks like. Feeling the love of the family and friends, above all the negativity happening around in the world, was truly remarkable.

What would you do with $20,000?

The first thing we would do, is visit our family once again, Only as a surprise this time. Irene's sister, Karla, has had a child, Thiago, And we would love to be part of his first birthday. Being able to share this day with them would be amazing. It would be our absolute pleasure to spoil them all a little bit; giving presents, taking the family out for dinner. It would truly make our year.
