"The entire ceremony was just under 14 minutes but I have to give you guys the uncut first 75 seconds. LOVE IT! We promised you atypical. We are in love and we cannot stop laughing. Thank you," Kathy captioned the post.

"Randy and I discussed the ceremony possibilities at length. We kept returning to the same conclusion: it was so much fun and so meaningful to do it here in what we believe is truly a beautiful home, filled with love and humor," Kathy said.
Revealing her favorite part of the house, Kathy explained: "I call it the chamber. It's really the master bedroom that has a sitting room, the parlor, and a bathroom and the walk-in closet. Once I close that one door, it's like having an apartment inside my house. There are often times when I’m in bed watching my news, the door's open and Randy's right there in the sitting room watching sports. Or we sit in bed together and watch silly shows. It feels like a sanctuary. And the view is beautiful."
In August 2021 Kathy revealed that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer, sharing a statement on her social media: "I've got to tell you guys something. I have cancer. I'm about to go into surgery to have half of my left lung removed. Yes, I have lung cancer even though I've never smoked!
"The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung. Hopefully no chemo or radiation after this and I should have normal function with my breathing. I should be up and running around as usual in a month or less."
