Thank you for being a part of our big day! We are back from
our honeymoon and have posted some pictures
here,
on the Photo gallery page. Enjoy!
Welcome to our wedding webpage! We are very excited about our upcoming wedding and cannot wait to spend an evening with all of our most loved friends and family. We are having so much fun planning a fun-filled, personal and unforgettable event (with a lot of credit going to Soha Lavin, our wedding planner extraordinaire). So sit back, cruise our website and envision yourself sipping a glass of champagne and enjoying the party to come on July 29th!
Some brides claim they were not expecting their significant other to pop the question, but in the case of Suzanne, she's telling the truth. "I had no idea he was preparing to propose, so I resisted the idea of going for a walk on the beach at sunset before dinner. We had had an amazing day at the spa and I was so relaxed that I just wanted to share some wine and enjoy the view at the restaurant." Her resistance did not deter Graham, however, who waited patiently until dinner was over to carry out his plan: to propose on the beach at the Four Seasons in Wailea, Maui in November of 2004. Being a gentleman, Graham asked Suzanne's parents for permission to marry before the couple headed on its vacation. Graham confirms that Suzanne was definitely unaware of his plan. "Her reaction was amazing. It was all that you could ever ask for when you are the one proposing. There were tears and hugs and many, "Oh my Gods!" and I had to calm her down to remind her and show her that there was a ring involved!"
While the proposal was flawless in Suzanne's eyes, she was unaware of all of the complications and challenges Graham had faced in getting the ring to Maui. "The first ring that was made was wrong so I headed to Maui without one hoping that the right one would arrive during our stay. Of course, when the day came for the ring to arrive, Suzanne wanted to go on the long and arduous drive along the Hana Highway and when we returned the office where the ring was delivered to was closed. I had visions of it being broken into all night but managed to coerce the manager into opening early so I could quickly retrieve it in the morning." Everything fell into place after that and Suzanne and Graham enjoyed a memorable vacation of surfing, sailing and spa-ing. The engagement was truly amazing and fulfilled both of their dreams of the perfect proposal.
