We met at the YMCA gym in Dallas. Joel and Rachel worked out at the same time (around 4:30pm) but never met. Joel noticed Rachel for about a month and decided he was going to introduce himself to "gym girl".

On February 15, 2022, Rachel was at the squat rack, Joel decided he also wanted to squat (don't think that was a coincidence ;) Joel introduced himself and we talked for a few minutes but that was pretty much it.

We saw each other a couple more times that same week. Joel finally asked for Rachel's number and the rest is history!

Two or so years have gone by now and we are SO excited to get married and celebrate with all our friends and family! You all mean the world to us and we hope everyone can make it on March 1!
