Kaitlyn + Josh
June 25, 2022
The Proposal
Kaitlyn Grovatt and Josh Pope were dateless on Valentine's Day their senior year, perfect circumstances for a mutual friend to introduce them at a party where they quickly hit it off. Years later, Josh surprised Kaitlyn in a rose garden with their dog's bandanna reading, “Mom, will you marry my dad?
The Big Day
The wedding was preceded by a white-out welcome party for guests in their snowiest attire, and since they called for Black Tie on the hot summer day-of, they provided a fan for each guest. The dance floor was packed and the black-and-white photo booth gave both a print and social media boomerang option to share the revelry. After hours, guests were treated to a food truck: McDonald's cuisine and candy to fuel celebrations that continued at Sky Top Tavern. Beyond grateful for their nearest and dearest, Kaitlyn and Josh supplied hangover kits and their favorite Kahuna Treats in each guest's room.
