David & Kate met on a cool night in March 2019 at the Rockland GAA hall in Pearl River, NY. Kate was supposed to have a blind date that night but he thankfully cancelled on her last minute. Her sister in law however, insitsted she come up to Rockland from Queens and enjoy the night out regardless. David happened to be at the same venue attending a going away party for some of his friends. In his typical Leitrim style and after many Amstel Light’s, he confidently walked up to Kate while she sat chatting with some of her family. They continued talking that night until the wee hours of the morning and haven’t been apart since. After a pandemonious lockdown together, on December 25th 2020, David slowly (very slowly) bent to his knee and asked Kate to be his wife….and now it’s actually happenning!
