My wife and I got matching Roman numerals of our wedding date. It's a permanent love letter—small but powerful—celebrating everything we’ve built and everything still ahead. It's a reminder that our story is just getting started.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Depends on the era! An old piece would grin and shout, “F*ck it, I'm in!”. My newest pieces would breathe a sigh of relief and say, “Welcome back”—because after years of feeling lost, I finally found myself again.
What would you do with the $25,000?As a same-sex couple, starting a family through IVF or adoption comes with heavy costs. My wife and I would use the prize to help build our family—a lifelong dream that's both beautiful and challenging. Any extra would go toward creating a nursery, preparing a safe and loving space for the future baby we can’t wait to meet.
