Let's make this last forever

Alex and Zach met at Mitchell Street Pub—proof that sometimes the best things in life happen when you least expect them. Alex was out with the cast of August: Osage County, and Zach, who had recently moved back to the area, was out with friends. Before the night ended, Zach turned to his friend Leddy and said, “I’m going to talk to the redhead before we leave.” And luckily for both of them, he did. They hit it off immediately, chatting about escape rooms, books, the play Alex was in, and everything in between. Numbers were exchanged, and the next day, Zach showed up to see the show—all three hours of it. It was one of the only times Alex ever stumbled on a line. After that, the conversation never really stopped. Now, nearly 7.5 years later, their story includes much more than a single night at a pub. It’s filled with laughter, pizza, escape rooms, game nights with friends, trips to new places, fostering baby bunnies and kittens, stacks of books, and dreams still unfolding. They can’t wait to start the next chapter—together.
