Different upbringings, same team. Now two imperfect people who choose each other every day. We built something one of a kind, against odds.
We would like to thank you for supporting Justin and Anita 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 by chance at a casino while we were both living in D.C.—a city neither of us called home. I wasn’t looking for a relationship, and I definitely wasn’t looking for one with him. But he never pressured me. He simply showed up with consistency, a smile, and a daily “How’s your day?” Those small moments became a friendship, and that friendship grew into the one-of-a-kind love we share today.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is still the night we met. It wasn’t planned, and I didn’t take him seriously at all—I was convinced he was just charming me and I’d never see him again. Instead, we couldn’t stop smiling, laughed all night, and genuinely enjoyed being together. Looking back, that unexpected night became the start of the best chapter of our lives.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d use the $20,000 to take the trip of a lifetime and create even more memories together. Traveling has become one of our favorite ways to experience new cultures, celebrate how far we’ve come, and keep writing new chapters of our story.
