How did your love story begin?

I met him at his 20th birthday party. He was so beautiful I almost stopped breathing. I've loved him ever since. I didn't realize he fell for me at the same time.

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

When our first child was born.

What would you do with $20,000?

We are well over 75 years old. That winning would be for our golden years.
