Eight years later, we’re still writing the kind of love story that feels impossible until you live it.
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 simple swipe on Tinder when we were just 17 two kids with no idea that one small moment would change everything. What started as a conversation became late-night talks, endless laughter, growing up side by side, and choosing each other through every season of life. We didn’t just fall in love; we became each other’s home. Eight years later, we’re living proof that sometimes the greatest forever begins with the most unexpected hello. We grew up together.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory is the beginning. Not because we knew what was coming, but because we didn’t. Two teenagers took a chance on a simple swipe, completely unaware that eight years later we’d still be choosing each other. Looking back, my favorite memory isn’t a single day it’s knowing that every beautiful moment we share exists because we said hello.
What would you do with $20,000?If Venus and I were given $20,000, our first priority would be creating the wedding of our dreams on August 25, 2027 a day that celebrates the love we’ve spent years building together. We’d use it to help pay for our wedding and the honeymoon we’ve always imagined, creating memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Any money left over wouldn’t be spent on things we don’t need; it would go straight into savings for our future home together.
