We’re kindred souls who balance each other perfectly. We love exploring, growing, laughing, and building a life full of adventure together.
We would like to thank you for supporting Marina & Jake 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.
Our story began online, but it quickly became something neither of us expected. From our very first conversations, it felt like we had known each other forever. We connected over our shared values, love of adventure, travel, coffee shops, and exploring the world around us. We truly feel like kindred souls who found each other at the right time. Over the years, we’ve grown together, supported each other, and built a relationship rooted in friendship, laughter, and love.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories was our trip to Colorado in the fall. We were so excited to see the foliage… then we unexpectedly got caught in a huge snowstorm and definitely weren’t prepared with the right snow clothes, but somehow that made the adventure even more memorable. Instead of letting it ruin our trip, we laughed, explored, and made the absolute best of it together. It reminded us that no matter where we are or what happens, we always have an amazing time when we’re side by side.
What would you do with $20,000?Winning $20,000 would mean so much to us as we start the next chapter of our lives. We are a hardworking couple dreaming of one day owning a home and building a family together. This would help ease some of the financial stress that comes with planning a wedding and allow us to put money toward our future. More than anything, it would give us the opportunity to create a strong foundation for the life we’re building together.
