Connect How did your love story begin?

After years of heartbreak and believing my forever didn’t exist, I saw the most incredible smile on Facebook Dating and had to say hello. He immediately shared that he was a transgender man. I was nervous and had questions, but his honesty and kindness put me at ease. The moment we met, every fear disappeared. It felt like my soul recognized his. Two months later we were engaged, because when you know, you know.

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

Our first date changed everything. We laughed for hours, forgot about the rest of the world, and both walked away feeling like we’d found the person we’d been searching for our entire lives. There wasn’t one dramatic moment, it was the overwhelming peace of finally feeling safe, accepted, and completely loved. That feeling has never left us.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning would help us start our marriage on solid ground. We’d put it toward our wedding, our honeymoon, and building our first home together. We’d also set aside money for our dreams of traveling to many beautiful places around the world. Most importantly, it would allow us to begin this next chapter focused on each other instead of financial stress, creating a lifetime of memories together.
