Josh and Kaylee met at a speed dating event hosted by a local church in Kansas City. Halfway through the event, there was an intermission in which both Kaylee and Josh spotted each other from adjacent tables and were both secretly excited for the chance to talk to each other. After intermission, it was Josh's turn for a 6-minute 'date' at Kaylee's table, and they hit it off, talking about everything from their faith in God to their hobbies, including Kaylee's travels and her trip to Bangalore, India. The 6 minutes went by quickly, but not quickly enough for Josh to 'shoot his shot', breaking the unspoken speed dating rule and asking Kaylee for her number. Josh promptly texted Kaylee the next morning, and the rest is history. The two talked on the phone nearly every night, and it felt like talking to an old friend. They went out for dates to coffee, pickleball, dinner at new Indian restaurants, and drives around the city to see Christmas lights. They both knew they had something special that only God could bring together and on July 5th, 2024, Josh took Kaylee on a hike she would never forget. At the end of the trail, overlooking the mountains, he knelt down on one knee and asked her to spend forever with him. This would lead them to embark on their greatest adventure as they commit their lives to one another before God and in the presence of their closest family & friends on March 9th, 2025.
