Kalik and Marshaye met at their Alma Mater Mississippi Valley State University. It was during homecoming of 2017. Kalik tried his best to "shoot his shot" at Marshaye as they both were on "The Yard", but it didn't work. Kalik stayed persistent, giving Marshaye sweet compliments via Snapchat for a couple of months. He finally just asked "When are we going to go on our date?" and she replied, "When do you want to?" We finally went on our first date in December of 2017. From that day on, the countless dates, trips, and time spent together have been a journey. During our journey, we also welcomed our heaven-sent daughter, Kamilla Grace. Our family has recently relocated to St. Louis, Missouri for new career opportunities. We became engaged on February 6, 2021. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare for and embark on this new journey of marriage.
