Connect How did your love story begin?

Our story began long before we ever dated. We grew up together and were even AP Bio lab partners our senior year of high school. After college, we both moved back home and reconnected. We started our careers in our respective fields on the exact same day, and years later, graduated further into those careers on the same day too. Somehow, every chapter of our lives has lined up. Our lives truly couldn’t be more intertwined.

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

It’s almost impossible to choose just one. We grew up together and have shared so many adventures, milestones, and life achievements. Our favorite “memory” is really the life we’ve built together, celebrating each other’s biggest wins, helping each other through the hardest moments, traveling the world, chasing our goals, and growing stronger through it all. The best part has simply been getting to do life together.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would put the $20,000 toward finally having our wedding. While I was in PA school, we had to put wedding planning on hold because time and money were both limited. We chose to focus on supporting each other and reaching our career goals first. Now that we’ve both graduated, we’re finally ready to plan the wedding we’ve waited so patiently for, and this would make that dream possible.
