She bought me coffee. She asked, "Take a chance with me and move across the country," I did and it was the best thing I ever did.

How did your love story begin?

Funny enough we met on Hinge. We lived about a mile apart, both working night shifts. She is a nurse for Children's Hospital, a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Nurse and I was a bartender for a karaoke/volleyball bar. We had talked on the phone for hours, video called, texted for weeks prior to meeting in person, and when she showed up with that White Mocha Cold Brew - I was smitten. As every head turned to see her, and her eyes met mine, in that moment we were forever intertwined.

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

Probably when we traveled across the country together! She had been given an opportunity to be an Travel Nurse, which she accepted, asking me to come with her. This started our adventure, we learned how to love each other. From that experience alone, countless memories were made, some safe to say, some not. Being able to travel coast to coast together, was such a blessing and I am so thankful for her choosing me to join her.

What would you do with $20,000?

Go on our Honeymoon. When we got married, we eloped. We had a reception a year later to surprise our friends and family because where we ended up was too expensive for everyone to come out. We opted for a more private ceremony to save money for buying a house. Now we are still in the hunt for a house but closer than ever. After being married for 3 years, we still have yet to go on Our Honeymoon, the one we planned together while traveling the US. We want to go to Greece.
