On Friday, the couple, along with 25 of their friends and family, took a fleet of decorated vehicles to Beaver Lake in Arkansas, where they set off for some fun on the water. TLC “We decided to do a joint bachelor-bachelorette party because we love spending time together,” the pair tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We figured this would be a really good activity for both of our families to connect.” The group had a blast, going water skiing and tubing on their pontoon, ski boat and high-performance speed boat. Later, the future bride and groom served guests a picnic lunch. “We ended up doing the waterskiing and tubing for our joint bachelor-bachelorette party because Kendra loves the water, and I just enjoy doing whatever she’s doing,” says Joseph, 22.
