One early autumn afternoon, Rosa walked into CrossFit Hammock Beach, in Palm Coast, Florida. She was learning the ins and outs of CrossFit, and who better to take her through that than Shawn? He was witty and charismatic, she was cheerful and enthusiastic, and the two of them clicked almost immediately.

For the next few months, the two of them would see each other a few times a week - Shawn was coaching and Rosa was getting her fitness on. Chemistry built and the two of them developed what you could call a friendship. They started doing fitness together outside of the gym - going for walks, runs, and bike rides, dabbling in kickboxing.

When their CrossFit box closed down, both of them decided to move over to CrossFit Bearcat to continue their fitness journey. Their friendship quickly evolved into something more, gradually having more experiences together - going for road trips, obtaining new fitness certificates, helping Shawn heal from an injury, and more.

After beating around the bush for a few months, not accepting that they were dating, Rosa and Shawn finally admitted what they were doing and decided it was time to get more serious. The two of them eventually moved in together, adapting to life under one roof, and ultimately made the decision they would get engaged to become husband and wife.

The last year has been spent planning and getting ready for the big day, and they are so excited for you all to share in the happy day where everything becomes official!
