WE'RE GETTING MARRIED

Alex's and Zach's story begins in Bemidji, Minnesota, where they both attended college. Zach pursued football at BSU while studying Business Administration, while Alex focused on Marketing Communications. In 2021, Alex moved to Bemidji with a few friends and they resided in the Blue house at 1401 America Ave. Around the same time, Zach transitioned from dorm life to the White House at 1401 Beltrami Ave, just a street away. Despite their close proximity, they didn't meet until one October night when they crossed paths at a friend's gathering. Zach and his friends later visited Alex's house, where she whipped up pasta for them at 2 am. This encounter sparked a friendship between Zach and Alex, which continued to blossom. Their connection grew stronger when Zach entered one of Alex's classes late due to football commitments. They began spending more time together outside of class, leading to Zach eventually asking Alex out on a date. Their first date took place at a barbecue restaurant, despite Alex's dislike for barbecue—she opted for a Caesar salad instead. Zach and Alex's relationship flourished as they nurtured their bond and deepened their faith together. In October 2023, Zach knelt down and proposed to Alex, marking a significant milestone in their journey. Additionally, in March 2024, they purchased a house together, eagerly anticipating their union on June 21st, 2024.
