Ivan’s my better half & best friend—fire and ice, balancing each other perfectly. Opposites that make us truly one of a kind.
We would like to thank you for supporting Sainyane & Ivan 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.
We met on the dating app “Hinge” but what made it different than an ordinary conversation was Ivan had answered my ice breaker which could have been a deal breaker. He named his top 5 animes and it led to a couple of weeks of chatting consistently to our first and incredible date at Akihabara Arcade in Westminster, CO.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Sainyane’s favorite memory of Ivan is their first date when they had a late night pizza date at Marco’s. They were closing up shop and had already stacked chairs but were willing to serve us pizza. As we sat at the booth Sainyane was hesitant to eat until Ivan said, “Girl, aren’t you hungry? Eat up or else I’ll eat all of it. Don’t be shy.” Ivan’s favorite memory would be their first date 5 day camping trip we did in Colorado and mistaking a golden retriever for a bear.
What would you do with $20,000?We would most likely save it for a down payment on our first house. We are getting married on June 27th, and we have a lot of moving to do. It would go towards our future home and at that point we’d start our little family.
