How did your love story begin?

Our love story began with a blind date at Olive Garden. What started as two strangers meeting for dinner quickly turned into something special. We laughed, talked for hours, and discovered a connection neither of us expected. That one simple blind date became the beginning of a beautiful journey together, and we’re so grateful we both said “yes” to that first meeting.

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

One of Tom’s favorite memories is when I taught him American Sign Language. It wasn’t just about learning a new language—it was about learning how to communicate with each other in a deeper way. Every new sign he learned brought us closer together, and it showed his love, patience, and commitment to our relationship. Those moments of laughing, practicing, and growing together will always be a special part of our love story.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we had $20,000 to spend, I’d love to use it to celebrate our fifth anniversary with the trip of a lifetime to Bora Bora and Tahiti. We’d stay in an overwater bungalow, watch the sunsets together, snorkel in the crystal-clear lagoons, enjoy romantic dinners by the beach, and create memories we’ll cherish forever. For me, spending that money on unforgettable experiences together would be worth every penny.
