Winston and Kala met at a party that neither one of them wanted to go to and exchanged numbers. Their first date was magical, and they connected on so many levels, with similar backgrounds. An accident on their way home from that first date caused traffic to back up, but Kala and Winston talked for over an hour about a little bit of everything and forgot they were even stuck in traffic. They soon found out they were neighbors and continued to see each other every day after classes and work, furthering their connection daily. But life had its own plans, and after a year of blissful togetherness, Kala made the difficult decision to pursue her dreams at a graduate school far away. The prospect of a long-distance relationship weighed heavily on her heart, but Winston's unwavering faith in their love provided the anchor she needed. They faced each day with hope and resilience, making every effort to bridge the physical gap that separated them. Upon graduation, Kala moved back to Orlando, and they began their careers side by side. Their love story was not just about the magical first date or the traffic jam that brought them closer. It was about the laughter that filled their days, the adventures they embarked on together, and the unwavering commitment that weathered the storms of life. Theirs was a love that had conquered distance and adversity, a love story destined to become a timeless tale of the heart, cherished by all who heard it.

What does Kala love the most about Winston? I love that Winston is so supportive, patient, and I can share anything with him. He is my home in human form. Highlights/ Memorable moments? Long late nights studying together. Lots of Thai food. Surfing. Skiing. Trips back and forth to visit while I was away at grad school. Winston helping me with my hair. Cruises. Winston did this corny bit where he put on a cape and said “I’m super-your man”. Why are you getting married? We believe that God placed us in each others lives in divine timing when we were ready to fully accept each other and come into the relationship wholeheartedly. Now, we can’t imagine life without each other. How is life as a couple? We are both very hardworking but huge goofballs at home. Our weekly at home R&B concerts/dance parties also keep things fun and exciting. We share values such as family, furthering our careers, enjoying new experiences and of course food. What is the secret of your happy relationship? Communication and patience. There is a lot of team-work involved as we share all responsibilities so no one feels overwhelmed.
