A few years ago, I was a trainer at OrangeTheory Fitness and John was a member. As a full time trainer, I taught a variety of time slots. I noticed John would take my classes more frequently and at varied times. I would see him at 4:45 AM on Monday, then at 10 AM Tuesday, and even at 3:15 PM on Friday. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. After a while, I asked him "how do you workout at such different times every day of the week?" and he replied with "I have a flexible work schedule." It made me wonder if he was following my classes! Around that time, he befriended my good friend, Karina. He started coming to our traveling spartan races, so I began hanging out with John in our group outside of OTF. I remember during Christmas, while visiting my cousins in Pennsylvania, and John and I had really started forming a connection over text. We talked every single day when I was gone, and I truly wanted to see him. When I got back in town, John and I were invited to the same New Year's Eve party. I was hoping he would text me to be his date. However, he did not, so I initiated asking him instead. I asked if he would drive me and he agreed to do so. That night, the magic happened. I had one too many shots, so I became flirty and honest with John. I admitted my feelings for him and he did the same. We had our first kiss that night and the chemistry was there. John and I persevered over the next 3 years as our relationship deepened and our commitment to one another became solidified. We are so excited to share in this special day with all our friends and family and we can't thank you enough for your support!
