R E A L W E D D I N G | Holly and Jacob met in the most modern, romantic place possible–the gym. They connected over their shared love of dogs, and had their date at, you guessed it, the gym!
“I remember thinking, this is either going to surprise me and go great, or it’s going to feel awkward and be the worst idea ever,” Holly said. “Thankfully, it turned out to be the best decision. It was so fun, and I was surprised by how natural everything felt and how easily conversation flowed between sets.”
Falling in love didn’t happen in one singular moment, but gradually and over time.
“It felt more like something that slowly grew through shared memories, contagious energy, endless laughs, and lots of singing Taylor Swift in the car together,” Holly said.
