Their instructions were simple: Answer them honestly and separately from each other - no peeking! So we emailed McClain and Biely some questions about their love story. Kevin Biely proposed to Kat McClain over dessert a year to the day of their first date. When McClain emailed Morning Edition in January to share the news of their engagement, we wanted to know more about how they had gone from strangers to serious under what hardly screamed auspicious circumstances - a blind date that was recorded and photographed and later shared with millions of people. This time when they ordered dessert, Biely proposed. A few months ago, on their first-date anniversary, the pair celebrated by going to that same restaurant.
The couple were nervous as the date started, though they eventually relaxed, talking so long that they closed down the restaurant - but not before splitting an ice cream sundae. The couple went on a dinner date in LA, and producers from Morning Edition and a photographer tagged along. McClain's date with Biely, director of e-commerce at Goodwill Southern California, was her first (and only!) arranged by the matchmaker.
