Enrique and Colleen first laid eyes on each other at Gold’s Gym in San Marcos, Texas. They were both part of a 5am fitness class – at time of day reserved for the truly committed. At first, Enrique was quiet and kept to himself, but it wasn’t long before Colleen, always ready to make a new friend, sparked a conversation. Between early morning workouts and running sessions, their friendship slowly turned into a “gym crush” that neither of them fully realized at the time. Then, one evening while out with friends, Colleen found a little extra confidence and confessed to Enrique that he was her gym crush. To her surprise, Enrique admitted he felt the same way. From that moment on, they began spending more time getting to know each other. It wasn’t effortless, at first – Enrique was naturally reserved, while Colleen was anything but. There were a few quiet workouts to break through, however, as they built chemistry and learned each other’s rhythms, something beautiful unfolded. With each day, week, and month they discovered new sides of one another to admire. What began as a 5am gym class turned into a friendship, then a relationship, and now a marriage – proving that sometimes the best love stories start with an early alarm clock.
