Michael & Susan

Michael and Susan met in 2003 while working together in Ocean City, Maryland. They had the same group of friends and after over a year of going to the beach, dinners and parties with the group, they finally had their first date!

After seven years of dating, they got engaged at the same restaurant and at the very same table where they shared that first date.

Michael and Susan chose to get married in Ocean City, where all of their family and friends joined them for a gorgeous October weekend.

They started the wedding celebration on the beach, where they could include their dog, Lucy. She was a "must-have" for the wedding!

Afterwards, guests boarded the boardwalk tram and took a ride to the reception where they watched the sunset overlooking the inlet at the Harrison's Harbor Watch.

Their sparkler send-off was perfect as they walked along the boardwalk, through the twinkling path of excited guests.

Special thanks to photographer, Raye, of Gillette Portrait Arts. He has an amazing eye for photography.

Susan also told us that one of the photos she sent in was taken by one of their guests with a smartphone! (The photo at the top of this page.) We're glad that I Love Sparklers can help make even the guests' photos so memorable!
