Captivating Couples 2011

They met online, in grad school and even at an adoption center. Their love stories quell the naysayers and show us all that it can happen. Quit mooning over your exes and be inspired!

(And they’re in no particular order ‘cause we’re captivated by them all!)

Britt & Cora

Houston, TX

Britt, 28, branch manager, financial advisor

Cora, 30, nurse anesthetist

Home cooked meals with a bottle of wine, time with friends, activism, working hard, travel and working out are the things that motivate us and also keep us sane,” say Britt and Cora, who were married in Mexico’s Riviera Maya in June 2010. This cute couple met when Britt volunteered at a Pride Houston event with Cora’s mom (who’s also gay) and her partner. “The ‘moms’ introduced us for professional reasons, and one thing led to another!” Britt says. When she and Cora aren’t busy at work (as a financial advisor and nurse anesthetist, respectively), they enjoy travel, volunteering, running and cycling, in addition to spending quality time with their three kids, ages 12, nine and six. “Maintaining the balance [between all of our activities] is hard, but finding the time and creating the space to enjoy the day-to-day is what means the most,” they add.
