He was a four-square & Tether ball champion, and she was a book worm, shy, with terrible fashion sense. She definitely had a crush on him, and even wrote about it in her 3rd grade diary. They would walk the halls, play at the same recesses, and attend the same classes for 6 years, never to speak a word. You could say they had different priorities at the time. But then just before high school, she moved away. Most would assume their love story ended there, however it wouldn't be until college that their fate would have them reconnect. In 2013, he was playing hockey in college in Boston, and she was focusing on her schooling in Los Angeles. It wasn't until the fall when she added him on Instagram not knowing where it would lead, and from there he commented on her photo his phone number, insisting they catch up. It would take only one short Christmas trip home for David to realize he wanted her to be his girlfriend. they would go on to live the life of a long distance couple for 4 years, traveling the country from Boston, Louisiana, Virginia, and finally back to California. Although distance is not an ideal situation for young love, they both would attest to it being what made their relationship as strong as it is today. David asked Kalia to marry him on June 28th, 2020-- the eve of Kalia's birthday. Who would've thought an 8yr old girl would be able to pick out her future husband almost 20 years later.
