Kyle and Alexis first crossed paths at the Hideaway, a lively sports bar in Bend, OR, where they both worked. Alexis was a server, and Kyle was a bartender. Their playful work flirtation blossomed amidst late nights with friends and good food, and their chemistry was undeniable from the start. What Alexis loves most about Kyle is his warm and sarcastic nature, combined with his playful spirit. He brings laughter and lightness into her life, allowing her to embrace the moment. His easygoing nature and quick wit draw people in, and she cherishes his ability to center and calm her when the world feels chaotic. Kyle appreciates Alexis's caring and nurturing nature, her ability to go with the flow, and that she allows him to be himself. He appreciates her good sense of humor—especially the way she finds him funny—and her friendliness with everyone. Kyle also admires her sense of adventure, which adds excitement to their lives together. Now, ten years later, after a few moves, one lovable dog, and welcoming their perfect daughter, Scarlet, they are stronger than ever.

One of Kyle's favorite memories with Alexis is the night they couldn’t sleep and decided to drive out into the Central Oregon wilderness. That spontaneous adventure under the stars brought them even closer together. Whether they are exploring the beautiful drives to Port Townsend, Hama Hama, and Finn River or enjoying hidden gems in New Orleans, every moment they spend together fills their hearts with joy. Those experiences—whether savoring delicious food, discovering secret music spots, or simply enjoying each other's company—create lasting memories they treasures.

Alexis and Kyle are filled with excitement for the future. They can’t wait to watch Scarlet grow up in a loving home and continue their adventures together. The journey ahead is bright, and they know that together, they can face anything that comes their way.

Their engagement was a subtle affair, just like their relationship. During a Postal Service concert, Kyle slipped a ring on Alexis's finger while “Such Great Heights” played in the background and whispered that he loved her. It was perfectly them—intimate and heartfelt, without any fanfare. They are excited to celebrate their love with a simple civil ceremony in Port Orchard, Washington, surrounded by their immediate family — a day filled with the love, joy, and meaningful connections that define their relationship.
