Connect How did your love story begin?

We met on Hinge, but our story almost ended before it began. After matching, I actually unmatched him and thought we’d never speak again. Fate had other plans. We found our way back to each other, and from that moment everything fell into place. Three months later, we were engaged. What started with a swipe and a second chance became the greatest love story we could have imagined.

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

Our favorite memory isn’t one big moment it’s the journey that brought us here. From long conversations and endless laughter to realizing we’d found our person, every memory has been special. But nothing compares to the moment we said “yes” to forever. Looking at each other and knowing we had found home in one another is a feeling we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning $20,000 would mean so much more than just helping us plan a beautiful wedding. While my fiancé is blessed with a wonderful family, I haven’t had the same support system to rely on, so throughout our relationship we’ve learned that home isn’t always something you’re born into—it’s something you build together. From a Hinge match I almost walked away from to getting engaged just three months later, our love story has been full of unexpected blessings.
