Kalifia- I'm going to kiss you. Lee- What? Kalifia- I'm going to kiss you. You ready? Lee- Yes....... “Since the invention of the kiss, there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.” - The Princess Bride How did we get here, you ask? Well, our story truly started a couple years before "the kiss." In fact, we remember our life together as "BK- Before Kiss" or "AK- After Kiss. Picture this... Kalifia was teaching a new hire orientation class at work and Lee walked in and was mesmerized. Well, it didn't go quite like that. According to him, it was Kalifia's smile for him, but her wig- not so much. They worked together for a couple years and built a "working friendship". At some point, they and their "little sister" (Anique) decided they were going to start working out together. The trio successfully worked out together a few times, but someone (looking at you, Anique) fell off. (Thanks girl!) Kalifia and Lee kept at it and now that it was just the two of them, the energy started slowly shifting. There were looks, laughs, and subtle touches. One snowy night and after a particularly interesting work out session, Lee walked Kalifia to her door, where she decided to risk it all...."I'm going to kiss you...." Ten years later, Kalifia and Lee have built a life together. They sheltered in place together during the pandemic. Lee supported Kalifia in raising her two sons and sending them off to college. They've traveled to 20 states across the US and 8 countries across the world. And now, as Etta James soulfully sang, "At Last".... they will be standing before their family and friends to commit the rest of their lives to each other.
