How did your love story begin?

Our love story began at poker tables across different venues. We became friends while shuffling cards, sharing laughs, and talking about everything we had in common. Somewhere between the bluffs and bad beats, we realized we enjoyed each other's company more than the game itself. What started as a friendship turned into love, and it turns out the best hand either of us ever played was taking a chance on each other.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won $20,000, we would take the trip of a lifetime to Germany to visit my husband's children, whom he recently reconnected with. It would be a chance to spend precious time together, create new family memories, and celebrate several special milestones—our 10th wedding anniversary and both of us turning 50. This trip would mean everything to us because it represents love, family, second chances, and making memories that will last forever
