Logan and Emily met in October 2022 at the CrossFit gym. Emily was the Sunday morning yoga coach, and Logan taught Tuesday night Core Blast. After much persistence from their friend Jenny, Emily finally attended her first Core Blast class. She left with a very sore core—but no date. For three weeks straight, Emily kept showing up to Core Blast, almost giving up hope (of a date, not of washboard abs). Finally, Logan asked for her number. Their first date was at Tony and Joe’s Seafood in Georgetown, and it ended with their first kiss at the bottom of the Exorcist steps—spooky and romantic! In early January 2023, Logan officially asked Emily to be his girlfriend. Just six months later, they moved in together in Emily’s cozy 500-square-foot apartment. Over the next year, they traveled, hiked, worked out, and went on countless movie dates. People often joked, “If you can love each other in this small space, you can love each other anywhere.” And they did! In August 2024, they bought their first home together and turned it into their dream space. In November 2024, while celebrating Logan’s 30th birthday in Vienna, Austria, they jetted off to Madeira, Portugal for a few days of hiking. On a sunrise hike, standing at the edge of a mountain with clouds below, Logan asked Emily to marry him—and she said yes, of course!
