Nathan & Maissie

📍 St. Louis, MO

"After spending a year stationed in Korea, I came home on leave and went out one night in my hometown of Champaign, Illinois. That’s where I met Maissie at a bar. I ended up driving her home that night, and over the next six days, we spent nearly every moment together — her, her daughter, and me. As my leave came to an end and I prepared to return to Hawaii, where I was stationed, I realized I didn’t want to let her go. I didn’t want a long-distance relationship — I wanted her. So on day six, I asked her to marry me. A month later, we were standing barefoot on a beach in Honolulu, saying “I do.” That was over 20 years ago — and we’ve been happily married ever since, raising three amazing kids together."

"It was 1998. He asked me to take a chance on us. Exactly 10 years later (to the date), we said "I do." We've made it through the lean times and the hard times and have a beautiful family. We've had lots of adventures and made so many wonderful memories. He's my home."

"We met at Six Flags because we both worked there. This was before college for me (Sean). We were just friends at the time. Later when I was in college, I found his number in my phone and we reconnected after a year. We then started dating each other, came out together, and later got married. Together for 15 years, married for 4."

Caroline & Zane

📍 St. Louis, MO

"I met my wonderful girlfriend in our high school theater class. In the spring We both got casted in Percy Jackson the musical and she needed me to drive her home, which I did everyday. one day my dad gave me tickets to the Fabulous Fox and said I could take a person I knew. Since we had been getting to know each other for the past couple of weeks I decided to ask her one day before rehearsal if she'd go with me. Till this day we can't decide if that was a first date or not. We've been dating for two years now and recently bought season passes so we can Continue to share our love of theatre with each other and hopefully for many years to come."

Shawn & Gace

📍 O'Fallon, MO

"Grace is my daughter. I did not think I could get pregnant. I had tried for almost 2 years, and it wasn’t until I gave up that God blessed me with Grace. That is why I named her Grace. “Only by the Grace of God go I.” She has been the love of my life ever since! We are more than mother daughter. We are best friends. She is 23 now, and on her own, but she will always be my heart."

Fred & Jessy

📍 Missouri

"We worked together for 3 years and we're friends. I didn't like Fred at first, he was cocky and annoying, always holding up meetings with stupid questions. He was in a relationship with another girl and I was dating different people. When he broke up with his long term girlfriend he asked me out and I told him no because he just broke up with his girlfriend of 7 years. He asked me out again and I said no because we would be two poor teachers. When he asked me out a 3rd time I said yes. A year or so later we were engaged and a year after that we were married. And now 10 years later we have traveled parts of Europe, lived in another country for 2 years, and have two beautiful kids and a great dog."

"I was working an after school program. Brian was divorced and his girls were in my class. I noticed him when I was leaving the school. A week later I saw him in a bar and had seen him on previous days there as well. Finally I walked up to him and said are you ever going to say hello? We had our first date ( which lasted 28 hours) a week later and still together. That was nearly 20 years ago"

"Bryce and I have known each other since middle school and went to the same school growing up. We grew up doing theatre together so the Orpheum has always been a special place for us. We’ve been dating for almost 6 years and got engaged in March. We can’t wait to begin our lives together this March! Since theatre and the Orpheum is so special to us, we had our engagement pictures made here!"
