Congratulations, Caitlin & Brody!

Caitlin Claire Benson and Broderick Lee Johnson were united in matrimony on June 25th at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Kansas City, Missouri. The bride is the daughter of Jennifer and Charley Benson of Leawood, Kansas. Caitlin is the granddaughter of William Kircher of Fairway, Kansas, and the late Susan Kircher, and the late Marilyn and John Benson. Her groom is the son of Chrystal and Ken Johnson of Kansas City. Brody is the grandson of Alice and L.D. Smith of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Lillian Johnson of Bella Vista, Arkansas, and the late Ashley Johnson.

On the evening of the 24th, the groom’s parents hosted a lovely rehearsal dinner for their son and future daughter-in-law at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. Following the ceremony, the bride’s parents toasted their daughter and new son-in-law with a beautiful reception at The Kansas City Country Club. The newlyweds enjoyed a honeymoon in St. Lucia. They are now at home in Kansas City. Caitlin is employed with Children’s Mercy, and Brody is employed with HNTB.
