The Pastorinos

Married, raising 7 kids, running a business, and still each other’s favorite person. That’s our kind of crazy.

How did your love story begin?

She was referred to me while fighting to save her home after her husband left her and her children, drained their finances, and tried to take everything. We spent months talking by phone and text, and I fell in love with her strength before I ever met her. The day we finally met, the spark was instant. I helped save her home, but she ended up saving my heart. Today she’s my best friend, my wife, and my greatest blessing

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

Our favorite memory is actually our “first dance.” We never got one at our wedding—a funny story we’ll happily tell someday. So a year later, I took her to the top of a mountain, played our wedding song, and asked her to dance. Just the two of us, surrounded by nothing but the view. It wasn’t the dance we planned, but it became the one we’ll cherish forever

What would you do with $20,000?

Honestly, we’d spend it on the people we love most. We’d help finish a casita for my wife’s mom so she can live close to us, then take our kids to Tokyo Disney for an unforgettable family adventure. We’ve learned that life’s greatest investments aren’t things—they’re time together, memories, and taking care of family.
