Connect How did your love story begin?

Ivan and I met in high school, where our story began with a simple friendship. We spent time talking, laughing, and getting to know each other, never realizing how much we would come to mean to one another. Over time, that friendship grew into a strong bond, and before we knew it, we had become best friends. From there, our friendship blossomed into love, creating a relationship built on trust, laughter, and a deep connection that continues to grow every day.

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

One of our favorite memories together is going salsa dancing in River Park. Dancing in front of other people was completely outside my comfort zone, but Ivan never let me give up on myself. With his encouragement, patience, and confidence in me, he took my hand and led me onto the dance floor. What started as nervous laughter turned into one of the most fun and unforgettable nights we’ve shared. It reminded me that with Ivan by my side, I can be brave enough to try new things and enjoy every mom

What would you do with $20,000?

If Ivan and I were given $20,000, our first priority would be paying off our car so we could start our marriage with less financial stress and more freedom. We would then use part of the money to help cover wedding expenses and create a special day surrounded by the people we love. With the remaining funds, we would put money toward a future home, taking an important step toward building a stable and comfortable life together. For us, this gift would be an investment in our future and our life
