In May 2019, Arsh joined Orangetheory Fitness in Pooler, GA, where he took his second class with Gemilee as his coach. He gave every class his best effort, quickly showing Gemilee his dedication to fitness. While many might assume it was love at first sight, their story actually began as a genuine friendship. It wasn’t until the summer of 2020 that their bond was rekindled, thanks to their mutual friend, Amy. They began spending more time together in group settings, gradually growing closer. As their friendship deepened, they opened up to each other about their lives—including their struggles with modern dating. Both had been searching for “the one” through dating apps, but without success. Through these conversations, they discovered they shared similar values and hopes for a partner. One day, they decided to spend time together just the two of them. They visited Gemilee’s workplace at the Palmetto Bluff Club, took a peaceful stroll through the community, and later that evening had dinner at Skull Creek Dockside on Hilton Head Island. It was a memorable day—one that gently shifted their friendship into something more. As they continued spending quality time together, neither could have predicted that in each other, they would finally find their person.
