We're getting Married!

We met at a place where most people go to focus on themselves—Gold’s Gym. I had just returned from a trip, feeling like I needed to shake off all the junk food and travel fatigue, so I hit the gym late that night—something totally out of the ordinary for me. Meanwhile, Anthony was there, like he always was after his late-night shifts. He says the moment he saw me, he knew something was different. So different, in fact, that he asked his friend if he knew who I was. His friend said, “Yeah, that’s Stephanie—I went to school with her.” But when Anthony asked for an introduction, his friend told him, “Nah, she’s not like that. She’s a good girl.” Anthony took that to heart. Instead of rushing in, he followed me on Instagram and spent a few days typing and deleting messages, trying to find the right words. Eventually, he worked up the courage, slid into my DMs—and the rest is history. That one random late-night workout changed everything. Turns out, love can be found between sets, sweat, and a little bit of fate.
