Connect How did your love story begin?

Gabriela and I met in college after she moved to Miami from Colombia. We connected instantly and felt at ease with each other from day one. Our first date was unforgettable—the best time either of us had ever had. Since that night, we’ve talked every day and every night, sharing our dreams, challenges, and laughter. Through every lesson and mistake, our love has only grown stronger, proving that what we have is built on trust, friendship, and choosing each other every day.

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

Our favorite memory has to be our first trip together to Puerto Rico. It was an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, laughter, and moments we’ll cherish forever. More than the beautiful places we visited, what made it special was simply being together. We had the time of our lives, enjoyed every second of each other’s company, and created memories that brought us even closer. It reminded us that no matter where we are, the best part is sharing the journey together.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won, we would take a trip to Japan, something we’ve both dreamed of doing before starting a family, which we hope to do soon. We also have plans to launch a coffee business in South Florida, so part of the money would help us turn that dream into reality alongside our savings. Any remaining funds would go toward our savings as we work toward moving into our own apartment and building a strong foundation for our future together.
