A long time ago, in a town not that far away, Kayla caught Josh's eye while she tended the bar at the West Coast Saloon in Lawrence, Kansas. Since dating the regulars was strictly forbidden, their courtship consisted of Josh coyly sending Kayla a post-shift drink (or two), and Kayla pretending not to notice Josh’s subtle charm. After a few months, an old bomb shelter, and a snowy New Years Eve party, they decided to start “officially” dating on January 1st, 2013.

The past eleven years have been filled with laughter, tears, and countless unforgettable moments. In that time, they’ve made it through numerous ups and downs, including Josh completing his undergraduate degree and Kayla obtaining her masters, buying a house and moving to Kansas City, and saying hello and goodbye to many furry friends along the way.

On Christmas Eve, 2022, in front of a crackling fireplace, Josh proposed to Kayla during a heated card game of war. She wholeheartedly said yes and the two celebrated their engagement and 10-year anniversary that same New Years Eve with friends and family.

Fast forward to today, and here we are, on the cusp of their wedding day. It's a celebration of love, laughter, and the beautiful journey they’ve embarked on together. So mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate Kayla and Josh and help them make new memories bound to last a lifetime!
