One sunny day in July 2022, amidst the scenic beauty of a winery, Josh knelt down on one knee and asked Kathleen the most important question of his life. With tears of joy and love in their eyes, they began planning their dream wedding.
The Venue
The couple chose the serene Wildwood Outdoor Education Center in Lacygne, Kansas, as the backdrop for their special day.
