Our love story began like many others in recent years; on a dating app. It began with that same nervous, but excited energy you feel up until you first hear the other's voice, until you innocently touch each other, and until you deal with stress together for the first time. We felt like we could be ourselves together and when we looked into each other's eyes the fast world around us slows down. One date flowed seamlessly into spending days together until it felt like they were always there.

Our favorite memory was formed while taking a weekend trip together for the first time. It was a very long road trip, very early on in our relationship. The point in a relationship where, if something goes wrong, you think it could end a relationship (only you'd be stuck together for days after). We saw new places, met new people, introduced old people, and slept in tight confines with empty bellies. After mixing all the ingredients for a disaster we knew we had created something perfect.

We would use the money in two ways. We would use some to do something fun together like a vacation that can create another lifelong memory together. We would also use the money to start saving for our future place of living, where we can grow old together.
