The Beginning

The Beginning: It was the summer of 2011. Mutual friends were all invited to a beach house in Sea Isle, NJ. The bride did not have a good impression of the groom when they first met. Some of the house members, including the groom-to-be, were already intoxicated. Since she arrived to the party late, she was very, very sober. Upon hearing her future love laugh for the first time, she thought to herself, "WHO EVEN LAUGHS LIKE THAT?!". She was completely put off. Little did she know that this would be one of the features that she now loves. They had eyes for each other since they first met.

Through The Years

Through The Years: The couple have overcome trials and tribulations over the 8 years that they have dated. There was a lot of travel involved between the Philadelphia suburb where Susan worked and resided in, and State College, PA where Wesley attended college. Then the travel changed to the grooms hometown of Needmore, PA, where Wesley resided after graduation. After a couple years, the couple thought it best for Wes to move closer to the Philadelphia area so that it would broaden his horizons for his future endeavors in film making. It also decreased the stress of the long distance relationship the couple was enduring.

The Proposal

It's August 2018 and Wesley surprised Susan with tickets to see comedian, Kevin Hart, at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College the next month for her birthday. They're been talking about visiting for years but they never got around to it. After dinner at The Tavern, they decided to walk around campus. It was raining so Susan wanted to go back to the Airbnb they were renting for the weekend. He said not yet. They walked around some more. Susan finally noticed that Wes was acting strange. Even though she was starting to get miserable in her skirt and wet shoes, he wanted to keep walking around. She noticed that he was walking around with his hand in his pocket. He never walks like that. It finally clicked in her head, 'Oh man, is he going to propose?!'. She was very impressed that he even got that far before she figured out his plan. After letting him do his thing, they finally stopped in a random spot on campus and he turned to her, telling her that she's the love of his life and as get got down to one knee, he asked if she would do the honor of becoming his wife. She didn't cry. She was just unbelievably happy and couldn't stop smiling. She said "Of course I'll marry you!" She helped him up and they kissed. He admitted that he was trying to find a location that Susan said she thought was pretty on their first date but it was difficult since it's been 5 years since they've been on campus. She was moved because she didn't remember saying anything like that and it was so sweet that he did. As they got into the car to leave, he asked if they could check one last time to find this spot. She obliged. He finally found the are with a gazebo, pond, and beautiful landscaping. It was the Penn State Alumni Center Hintz Courtyard with the Alumni Gardens. He ended up proposing again under the gazebo. She laughed and said yes but he can get up (he ended up hurting his knee that second time around!). The rest of the weekend was wonderful.

Currently

Currently: Susan and Wes are living together in an apartment in King of Prussia, PA. They are very excited to share this new chapter of their lives! They look forward to those who can make it to their small backyard celebration!
