We first met all the way back in 2014 at the Leisure Centre in Ruislip, I had joined with my neighbor Sarah as we both wanted to get fit. We did high intensity workouts together on the mats and one day, Mark and Ravi came over and asked us what we were doing. We explained what it was and how good it is to build up your fitness and they asked to join in and from that day we all became gym buddies. We had our own WhatsApp group, all went out a few times and all pursued our fitness goals together! It made the gym fun and we all encouraged and motivated each other. Our lives continued and took different paths, I moved away and left the gym but we still all stayed in touch sporadically when busy lives allowed. Then one day in May 2018 mark messaged me to see how I was, it was months since we had last spoken properly and we arranged to meet for a catch up and a coffee. It was like there had been no time apart and we talked for ages, about what had changed in our lives, what we were up to and so on. We agreed to stay in touch more, and we spoke on and off for a few months. In September 2018 we sporadically decided to go out for a few drinks and that was the beginning of our journey as to where we are today. We had a few ups and downs along the way, but who doesn’t… All I can say is that it has brought us closer together and our relationship was based on friendship, which I believe is an amazing foundation to begin on. September is a special month for us, hence us tying the knot in September!
