The 2023 Kaskaskia College Adult Education Graduation program is a memorable experience for graduates, but a young couple made this year’s program even more special.
Following the recessional at the end of the evening, graduate Joshua Geary Padilla of Centralia dropped to one knee and proposed to fellow graduate Alyssa Brink, also of Centralia.
Joshua said he had planned the proposal to make Alyssa’s evening a little more special. He said she knew a proposal was coming from me, but didn’t know when. For the record, Alyssa said yes.
Even as they begin planning their upcoming wedding, Alyssa and Joshua plan to continue their education at Kaskaskia College. Alyssa in the health sciences and Joshua in the trades.
