Brea Muhle and Josh Goodenkauf’s serendipitous meeting happened while waiting in line to see a Chase Rice concert in Lincoln, and even though they came for the music, the highlight of their night was definitely each other. After three years together, Josh proposed on Father’s Day, when the couple’s family and friends were gathered at Brea’s family lake house. The Fountains Ballroom owner—who is also Brea’s sister—brought Brea’s boho wedding dreams to life. Pampas grass made a statement against the neutral palette, with centerpieces and bouquets of roses, hydrangeas and eucalyptus. Brea and Josh’s favorite moment was seeing each other for the first time. “That very first moment we made eye contact was magical. Everything about that moment was perfect,” she says. Behind the head table was a neon sign reading “Love you more” to remember Brea’s mother, who said it all the time. “This sign was super-special to us, as we both had lost our moms, and it was a reminder that they were both there with us throughout it all,” Brea says.
