Karla admitted that she was shy and didn't approach him at first, but now they've been married for over 30 years.

She also adds that her parents loved Doug because he takes care of his family.
"My mom and dad both loved him because he was a respectable young man.
"My mom said, ‘He takes care of his mother and a man like that will take care of his wife,’" Karla remembers.
After meeting, the two fell in love and it wasn't long before they settled down.
The two got engaged during a date at a hockey game, and they still do weekly date nights.
They now have four daughters, who look so alike they can unlock each other's phones with face ID.
