"Tale as old as time, True as it can be, Barely even friends then somebody bends, unexpectedly..." -- Beauty and The Beast. Just like every fairy tale, there is always a beginning, ours starts in 2020, in El Paso, Texas. Isabelle Gorman and Jose Rodriguez, two young individuals unknowing what fate had in store for them. They first met at Uncommon Crossfit gym, starting a budding friendship not knowing it would transcend into something out of this world in the future. Isabelle and Jose would run into one another at Uncommon making memories by working out together at the 2 pm class laughing at one another laying on the floor trying to regain a bit of life, laughing at heavy lifts each would miss, and some friendly competition by finishing the WOD of the day the fastest. Both not knowing that they are starting something grander than they are aware of. In the year 2019, Uncommon had a competition set up for members only, Isabelle and Jose both signed up not knowing the other would be there as well. After competing and playing around with one another as usual Jose started feeling something different on the inside for Isabelle. On the night out of the blue Jose finally built up the courage to ask Isabelle to go on a date with him and with butterflies in her stomach Isabelle said yes with excitement. Jose took Isabelle to Sunny Sushi knowing their favorite food is sushi, the date was beyond compare and description of words, so they both thought, then an amazing thing happened... They kissed. The world froze in its place, the time stopped ticking, and everything around them disappeared only those two were the ones that had life, warmth, and LOVE. With each passing day both Isabelle and Jose's feelings kept growing stronger and stronger for each other, date after date, call after call, and kiss after kiss each knew that they both were happy with one another. Then came the day Jose had to leave for a place far away temporarily to start his career and Isabelle and Jose both took the bet to stay by each other's side and continue with these feelings of love no matter what. Going on through his journey at the academy and being away from Isabelle, she would video call Jose every night, text him at every chance, and sometimes even though it wasn't allowed to visit him, she would still go. The biggest hurdle was the extension of Jose's six-month academy due to covid forcing the academy to stop and go back on making Jose stay there for longer, but that didn't stop the love from growing stronger and stronger. On March 30, 2021, after eight months of separation, Jose graduated from his academy and went home to see his Queen, then moved to a different state and started his career, but now it was Isabelle's turn to go somewhere else for her career, which meant more time away from Jose. Even though the separation was a pain for them both, they still stayed together, a strong love connection for each other that not even the claws of wolverine could cut through. Then after six months of being apart, Isabelle moved in with Jose and they continued their story together. After long planning, Jose and Isabelle went to the happiest place on earth, also known as Disneyland, for their anniversary date of the tenth of July. Knowing it was Isabelle's favorite place to go and the happiest place she loves, Jose and Isabelle along with their best friends, went. Something was a stir, "Jose was very nervous and not his usual self", thought Isabelle. They came along a path that led them to a magical well they heard will grant the wishes of those who believe in magic. Both Isabelle and Jose got a coin in one hand and closed their eyes shut to make a wish on the count of three. They tossed their coins in and soon as Isabelle opened her eyes, she was in shock... Jose was on one knee and proposed. Crying with joy, Isabelle said yes! This is the tale of Isabelle and Jose. TO BE CONTINUED...
