Suzanne’s family owns a cottage in Bay View and has been coming up north her whole life. When Suzanne got into college, she started working at the Side Door Saloon for her summer job. In the summer of 2004, John took a job as a designer for Bay View’s Summer Theatre Program. One night, John came in to the Side Door for drinks with friends and Suzanne knew that she had to meet that guy! He sat at a table that was not in her section and Suzanne paid the other waitress 5 dollars to give her that table so she could talk to John. It was literally love at first sight! John came in a few times after that and then proceeded to leave his phone number for her on a napkin (which is not like him at all!) They met up with some mutual friends because they lived a block away from one another and through long distances and many life changing experiences; they have remained together since that point.

For the Christmas of 2007, John and his family invited Suzanne home to Massena, New York for the holidays. On Christmas Eve afternoon, while Suzanne was still in her pajamas, she and John sat in his parents’ sunroom and put in James Taylor’s Christmas album. John turned to Suzanne and said “I really need to ask you something and it just can’t wait any longer…” Suzanne knew exactly what he was going to ask and she replied with “Yes…of course!”
