At A Simple Affair, we love hosting couples whose journey to the altar is built on years of true friendship, shared laughter, and genuine partnership. Alexzandria and Michael’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the sweetest love stories aren't defined by a single grand gesture—they're built day by day, choice by choice, until forever is the only next step that makes sense.
After eight years together, Alexzandria and Michael tied the knot at our off-Strip Las Vegas venue on July 17, 2026. Read on to hear their story, see their vision come to life, and discover the heartfelt advice they have for future couples!
From Teen Crush to Lifetime Partners
Alexzandria and Michael’s connection began when Alexzandria was just 18 years old. What started as late nights hanging out with a shared group of friends—laughing and making memories—slowly evolved into intentional time spent just the two of them.
"Without even realizing it, we were becoming more than friends. The feelings were mutual, and what started as a simple connection quickly turned into something so much more. One thing led to another, and before we knew it, everything just skyrocketed from there! Who would’ve thought that a little crush at 18 would turn into a lifetime of love?"
— Alexzandria
When it came time to plan their future, their decision to get married reflected the depth of their bond. Rather than a grand, surprise proposal, they made a mutual, heartfelt decision together after eight years of growing side-by-side.
When asked what they love most about one another, their answers highlight the strong foundation of trust and appreciation they share:
Alexzandria on Michael: "The thing I love most about him is that I never have to question his love for me. Whenever I need him, he’s there, and he always does everything he can to make sure I’m okay and taken care of."
Michael on Alexzandria: "I love her personality, her attitude, and the way she loves so wholeheartedly. There’s something so special about the way she carries herself and the love she gives to the people around her. She has a beautiful heart, a strong personality, and a way of making the people she loves feel special."
Bringing Their Vision to Life: Burgundy, Black & White Elegance
When Alexzandria first began searching for event spaces in the Las Vegas area, A Simple Affair immediately stood out.
"The first thing that caught my attention about A Simple Affair was the photos. The venue looked beautiful, elegant, and welcoming, and the interior immediately stood out to me. It gave me the impression of a lovely place to celebrate a special occasion."
To complement our versatile interior space, Alexzandria and Michael chose a striking palette of burgundy, black, and white. The rich burgundy tones brought warmth and romance, while sleek black and crisp white accents created a sophisticated, timeless ambiance for their family and friends.
The Highlight of the Night: Their First Dance
While the entire day was filled with celebration, one moment stood out above all the rest for the newlyweds: their first dance.
After eight years of building a life together, taking the floor for the first time as husband and wife was deeply emotional and unforgettable.
"It was such a beautiful and unforgettable moment, just the two of us, sharing a dance as husband and wife. It was a moment filled with love, happiness, and so many emotions that I will cherish forever... getting to share that special moment as a married couple made it even more meaningful. It was a beautiful reminder that no matter how our love story began, we were finally beginning our next chapter together."
Words of Wisdom for Future Couples
Alexzandria and Michael left future brides and grooms with wonderful advice on wedding planning and building a life together:
"Remember that marriage is a partnership. Make decisions together, include each other’s ideas, and allow both people to have a voice. Let your wife add things she loves, but also give your husband the opportunity to choose things that make him happy, too. Marriage is about compromise, teamwork, and making sure both of you feel valued and appreciated.
It’s not about one person getting everything they want; it’s about creating something beautiful together that represents both of you. Always listen to each other, respect each other’s opinions, and remember that your wedding day is the beginning of a lifetime of choosing each other."
