How did your love story begin?

It all started with persistence. He found me on not one, but three different dating apps, and eventually I gave him a chance. Just as we were getting to know each other, COVID turned our relationship into a long-distance one. We spent months on FaceTime, counted down the days until we could see each other, and made every visit count. What could have pulled us apart only made us stronger, and we knew we had found something worth fighting for.

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

It’s impossible to choose just one. From secret visits during COVID to building our first home together, every chapter has been special. We love exploring new places, trying amazing food, and creating memories around the world. My 30th birthday trip through japan is another reminder that our favorite moments aren’t about where we are—they’re about experiencing life side by side. No matter where we go, we’re happiest when we’re together.

What would you do with $20,000?

We’d invest in our future while making memories along the way. Part of it would go toward building our dream home and growing our savings for the family we hope to start soon. We’d also use some of it to explore another destination together because traveling has become one of our favorite ways to celebrate life and each other. For us, the best investment is creating a future filled with love, adventure, and unforgettable experiences.
