They had each other’s hearts for a while, but two high school lovebirds captured the hearts of America — and the world — when a simple date request went viral.
David Cowan, a senior at Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida, took flowers and a poster to a football game at Lake Brantley High School in nearby Altamonte Springs. That’s where his girlfriend, Saris Garcia, is in the cheerleading squad.
“Will you go to homecoming with me?” David asked, getting down on one knee in front of the crowd.
