We met in 2015, of course at the CrossFit gym. Trey joined that gym in May and in June Danielle moved to the area and joined the gym too. We started working out together with a small group of guys Trey was friends with. As the only girl of the group, the guys were always joking and picking on Danielle, Trey included! It didn't take long until some of the guys were asking Danielle "So, when are you going to go out with Trey?". Danielle thought it was just another joke, including when Trey texted Danielle outside of their normal group-chat with all the other gym friends. Danielle thought he was trying to trick her by side-texting her...him flirting with her was all just the joke, right? After Trey kept on checking in every day via text, seeing her at the gym daily, and spending a little extra time hanging out whenever he could, Danielle started to get the hint that maybe this "special friendship" could mean something more. So, she agreed to be his Nutrition Coach and get some 1-on-1 time with him. This turned into her chance to really win him over through his stomach as she started sharing her meal-prep extras with him - all for his nutrition goals obviously! By the Summer of 2016, we were officially dating ... July 16th has always been our dating-anniversary. From there, we spent the years at the gym, the beach, traveling for CrossFit competitions from Montreal, to Austin TX, Miami FL, Wisconsin, and all along the East Coast. In 2022, we bought our first house and did a full renovation on it together. On July 10th, 2023, at a beautiful, remote waterfall on White Rock Falls Trail, somewhere off of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Trey surprised Danielle with a proposal and of course she said YES! This love story has been unfolding across a decade and yet it still feels like we're just getting started on our journey! Thank you for supporting us through the years and now celebrating with us as we finally become Trey and Danielle Steele!
