Congratulations, Katasha & Caden!

Katasha Catrena Kumar and Caden Alan Jünk were united in matrimony on May 26th at the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort and Spa in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The bride is the daughter of Linda and Surinder Kumar of Mundelein, Illinois. Her groom is the son of Eva Marie and Mark Jünk of Hays, Kansas. On the evening prior to the nuptials, the groom’s parents hosted a lovely rehearsal dinner at La Gira Rodizio. Matthew Applequist served as the officiant. Sabrina Brown was the matron of honor, and Seth Jünk, brother of the groom, was the best man. The bridesmaids were Erin Smith, Lainey Summers, Sarah Ares, and Maddie Renne. Hayden David, Matt Roberti, and James Mindrup served as the groomsmen. Following the ceremony, the bride’s parents toasted the newlyweds at a beautiful reception at The Palapa on the beach. Katasha and Caden, along with their dog and cat, are at home in Our Town. Katasha is director of global revenue operations for C2FO, and Caden is an occupational therapist for the Visiting Nurse Association.
