We met on New Year’s Day, got engaged on Valentine’s Day, and married May 30—proof that forever can begin in a moment.
We would like to thank you for supporting Richard and Tiffany James 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 on January 1, when God brought two hearts together in His perfect timing. By Valentine’s Day, we knew we’d found forever, and on May 30, we made our covenant before Him. Our love isn’t defined by how quickly it grew, but by the faith, trust, peace, and joy we share. We believe God was preparing us long before we met, and every day since has been another beautiful chapter in the life He is writing for us together always.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our honeymoon cruise to Mexico is our favorite memory because it was our first adventure as husband and wife. Watching the sunsets over the ocean, laughing together, exploring new places, and slowing down to enjoy every moment reminded us that the greatest destination wasn’t Mexico—it was building a life together. Surrounded by God’s beautiful creation, we celebrated not just our marriage, but the beginning of a lifetime of shared adventures and unforgettable memories.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d create unforgettable memories by traveling together as a family. We’d take our kids on adventures, explore new places, and spend meaningful, uninterrupted time together. More than anything, we’d invest in experiences that strengthen our family, deepen our relationships, and create memories our children will cherish for the rest of their lives. The greatest gift isn’t the trip itself—it’s the time we get to share with the people we love most.
