Reconnected after first meeting in 2019, Trevor invited Alex on a little gay adventure. Lattes at High Tides Coffee. Thrifting in the Crossroads. Dinner in Cancun... the Mexican restaurant in Warrensburg.

On the steps in front of Trevor's mom's house, the two made it official. When they told his mom, she said, "Oh, I thought you already were."

After long trips between Warrensburg and Blue Springs, Alex and Trevor moved in together in an apartment in downtown Lee's Summit.

Then came the diva herself. Mishka, a rescue frenchie-pit looking for her forever home. "The Moosh" is a cuddle-obsessed, queen of the castle and more than just part of their story — she's family.

Perusing the couple's favorite antique store in Chicago, Trevor turned around to find Alex on one knee, a little brown cowboy hat in his hand. Inside was the ring Alex had been dropping hints about for six months.
