In an increasingly online world, we like to keep our relationship to ourselves.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
Our love story began with a friendship. We went to the same high school and were both dating other people. When Austin went to college, we remained pen pals for about two years. When we were both single, Austin made his move on me...and I completely rejected him, saying I wanted to remain friends. Nevertheless, he continued to pursue me, and we have been together ever since our first kiss in 2017.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory (so far) is our wedding in October 2025. It was so wonderful to be surrounded by everyone we love while getting to celebrate officially becoming husband and wife. It was a beautiful day to be shared with so many wonderful people.
What would you do with $20,000?Despite our 10 years together and our full-time jobs, the state of the economy has made it impossible for us to purchase a home. $20,000 would be enough to put a deposit down somewhere that we could finally call a permanent home.
