How did your love story begin?

A true 'one that got away tale'! We met 23 years ago in Phoenix right before I started my Bachelor's program in Vegas. He opened the door for our first date and I stood there, slack jawed, staring at the love of my life. Unfortunately, School caused us to have to seperate. We remained friends over the years and met several times throughout but always lived far apart... and then, this spring, after thirteen years apart, we met again at Disney world and fell instantly back in love.

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

Our first dance after 13 years! I took him to a surprise breakfast in Epcot in Paris before our day began! We had crepes and coffee and the French music was playing on the cobblestone streets... he looked at me with love in his eyes, wrapped his arm around my waist and whisked me into the street and danced with me there in front of everyone and then... we had our first kiss in 13 years. A true Disney magic moment!

What would you do with $20,000?

Honestly? I would spend 100 percent of it to move us both to the same city and to be with eachother! We're still in different cities and I would absolutely use this money as a means to actually make our dreams begin! It would be surreal to say the least and he deserves it so much! I've never med a kinder more beautiful soul than him and I'd give him the new life he deserves if I had the money to do so !
