Susan and Larry’s Top of the Rock Celebration 12~19~21

How and or where did you meet?
We met several years ago but didn’t become “we” or “us” until 2021.

How did you get proposed to?
He asked me if I had plans for the rest of my life

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?
I woke up deathly sick that day. . . TBI’s are no joke my friends! The entire day was a whirlwind, and I was basically crawling through mud but then our photographer brought me into the chapel for our first look. The look on his face at that moment was priceless. I started feeling better shortly after the receiving line.

What was your experience like at Normans Bridal?
Patty Smulsky. . . Patty is a rockstar. As an older bride I was nervous about trying on dresses. I expressed this to Patty on the phone when confirming my appointment and she was so kind, reassuring me and promising to help me. When we walked in that day, literally one year ago today, she was the first person I saw, and she already had a selection for me to try. I knew it was my dress the minute I tried it on.
