How did your love story begin?

We met on FB dating after Renee spent 14 years searching for the family and love she always dreamed of. She was resolute she would live life alone. I had been on a solo journey of self healing and felt that I would never have the love of my life. She asked me to lunch one day. We shared an amazing kiss and both hoped to see each other again. The next day she went on a scheduled 10day cruise where she called me twice a day and sent me flowers. She came home and weve been together ever since.

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

Renee took me to Crestline CA to see her cabin. We made a stop on the mountain to see the sunset. In the sky, which was a golden orange and pink, We saw clouds shaped into an R and an S. I have the picture! We couldnt believe our eyes. Such a sweet, unexpected, wildly romantic surprise. We were convinced it was the Heavens telling us we are meant to be.

What would you do with $20,000?

We are getting married november 9th 2026! A dream come true! We would use the money towards our honeymoon or a down payment for our own house together , for us and our 3 special people we care for!
