An Interview with An Engaged Couple: Kali & Yates, Engaged December 22, 2018; Married Aug. 17, 2019!
Kali & Yates! Engagements from Denver Catholic Speed Dating have sparkled our Christmas 2019 again with Kali & Yates getting engaged over the holidays!!
Met: May 5, 2017: Spring Catholic Speed Dating Age 20-35
We officially call them our Fatima couple! These events Spring of 2017 were very dear because they met at the event run three days before the founder of Denver Catholic Speed Dating’s flight to Portugal to attend the 100-year celebrations of Our Lady of Fatima’s first appearance! Among many prayer petitions taken to Fatima to that canonization there of Saints Jacinta & Francisco, we asked for even yet more of the God-willed couples to marry from Denver Catholic Speed Dating events and Pope Francis prayed over the petition box containing those petitions there just a week after Kali & Yates met!!!
Here’s what Yates posted right after their engagement 12/22/18:
“Roses are red,
Daisies are white.
“Yes” is what she said,
I got engaged last night!”
DCSD: What advice do you have for those looking to do speed dating?
Yates: Speed dating is definitely worth a try. It helps you meet a lot of different people in one night who are looking for real relationships.
DCSD: Any advice you have for those looking to date in faith?
Yates Finding someone who shares your most important values is very important in a relationship.
DCSD: What mindset did you go into speed dating with? Very intentional to date Catholic or looking to try it or just expecting a fun evening? Other thoughts you had going there?
Yates: I was looking to try it. I was looking to date Catholic, so that was an added incentive to get me to go.
DCSD: What did you like about the process of speed dating?
Yates: I got to meet a lot of people very quickly. The seven minute conversation helps you to figure out compatibility better than a profile on a dating app.
Kali and I were engaged on 12/22/2018. I also initially heard of your speed dating service through my sister, Kristen. She is the one who told me to go that particular night.
