The night we met out at our local bar, we somehow managed to leave with each other's credit cards when we paid our tab. The next day, Brett bought Thai food, only for Nick to receive the payment notification. He made that a great excuse to meet again with a "you owe me a drink." So we grabbed a drink while making the exchange, which turned out to be a pretty good investment. Who knew two misplaced credit cards would eventually lead to our wedding?

Our favorite memory is the camping trip to the Poconos, where we decided to stop pretending we were just friends and make it official. There wasn't a grand gesture or dramatic speech, just the two of us walking through the woods during a light rain, realizing we'd rather keep doing life together than apart. It turned out to be one of the easiest decisions we've ever made.

If we won $20,000, we'd put every dollar toward our wedding. We're designing and building much of it ourselves, from the décor and artwork to the countless little details that make it feel like us. The extra budget would let us bring a few more ambitious ideas to life, stress a little less, and create an unforgettable weekend to celebrate with the people we love.
