Our Wedding

Kendra Lizotte (the Maid of Honor) is the reason we had the chance to meet even though no one knew this is how it would turn out. For months, Kendra had been asking me to work out with her and for months I had been putting it off. She was, and currently is, a fitness fanatic which was both intimidating and motivating so finally I caved and decided to go. Little did I know that while being completely overwhelmed in a blur of exhaustion, sweat, and sales pitches, I was going to meet my future husband.&nbsp;Luke was a fitness trainer with a boot camp company at the time. He was one of the trainers kicking my butt at this workout and the first person to talk to me after it had finished. He was trying to sell the workouts to me and I was still so overwhelmed by everything going on at this "workout party". I just wanted to get out of there so after signing up through another trainer, I cut it short and headed home.&nbsp;Thankfully that's not where it ended.&nbsp;The next weekend there was another workout and as luck would have it, he was the trainer. This is where I first actually noticed him beyond just being a trainer. In the middle of my workout I realized I couldn't stop staring at him. I turned to Kendra (who was literally running laps around me) and said something to the effect of "dang he's cute". She smiles, agrees, and adopts the role of wing woman. The workout end and him and I immediately made a beeline for each other and continued to talk after the workout for a decent amount of time.&nbsp;We hit it off immediately. He made some cute attempts at flirting and I was so smitten that I went with it. Realizing that we couldn't stay in the random church parking lot all day and that still I looked a mess from just working out, I invited him to hang out later that day. To this day I make fun of his response because he actually said no. He had to lift that day so he wasn't going to be able to do anything. Disappointed but not defeated, I went home and wondered if and when I would see him again.&nbsp;Finally, the weekend after, he was the trainer again. I stared at him the whole time even more than the last workout and caught his glances towards me. After the workout was the same as the last except when I asked him if he was free that day, he said yes and asked for my number. He texted me immediately and I was excited when I saw him later that day.We've talked about every day since and the rest is history.
