His coma and recovery tested our future, but our love never stopped fighting. Fourteen years later, we’re stronger than ever.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
Our love story began with a simple handshake and a formal introduction on a random night out with my volleyball teammates from Cypress College. Neither of us could have imagined that such an ordinary moment would become the beginning of our forever.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It’s impossible to choose just one memory because every chapter of our journey has become a favorite. From carefree nights in Tijuana and spontaneous trips to Las Vegas, to flying to Washington and Sacramento to visit family, every adventure has brought us closer. Above all, raising our dog taught us what unconditional love truly means. She gave us a glimpse of parenthood and inspired our dream of starting a family of our own.
What would you do with $20,000?Winning $20,000 would help us begin the next chapter we’ve dreamed about for 14 years. After surviving his coma, years of recovery, and building a life together, we’re finally ready to get married, move into our own home, and start a family. My dad has always hoped we’d do things the traditional way, and this would let us celebrate our marriage with our loved ones instead of simply signing papers at a courthouse. It would truly change our lives.
