How did your love story begin?

Back in the days of dial-up internet and AOL chat rooms, fate brought us together. She was in California, and I was in New York. Thousands of miles apart, we met completely by chance, but one simple conversation changed everything. What started with a screen name and a keyboard turned into a love story that has stood the test of time. Long before social media and dating apps, AOL brought us together and the rest is history.

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

Our favorite memory has to be visiting Malta, the ancestral home of my father's family. Walking the same streets our ancestors once walked, experiencing the rich history, beautiful scenery, and incredible culture together made it a trip we'll never forget. Sharing that journey brought us even closer and gave us memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won $20,000, we would use it to help pay for our son's wedding in Brazil. His wife is from Brazil, and many of her family members are unable to travel to the United States, so having the wedding there allows both families to celebrate together. This is about so much more than paying for a wedding. It's about bringing two families, two cultures, and two countries together to create memories that will last a lifetime. It would give grandparents, parents, siblings, and loved ones the chance
