It started on a phone; he was obsessed with the other. The other couldn’t accept it. One screen made their love possible.

It began as just a few texts strung together in a random dating app that no one would have bothered to use. But we wanted to find our special someone. And it was just my luck that he was on that app, and that I just so happened to swipe right. After that, we were practically glued together. Nothing could have separated us.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?I decided to surprise his with a trip to L.A. It was at the beginning of last year. I got us VIP tickets to a show we both absolutely adored. It was a show produced by the same people we watched together at the beginning of us dating. After many FaceTime calls of watching the shows together at home, it sprung into us seeing it onstage, in the front row no less. It was a magical road trip. And I was so fortunate to gift him that for us. After that trip, I finally accepted that I truly loved him.
What would you do with $20,000?Our plan is to move into our own place next year. So the money would go straight towards our future together. We always wanted to have a family with kids and to grow them up in a house together. So the money would help us reach that goal of ours, and help us shape our future family. He works so hard, and I just want to surprise him with this if we win because I hadn’t told him much about the competition. And I think it would make him the happiest man in the world.
