Our Wedding

I was a sophomore and Tim was on his 5th year at Kutztown&nbsp;University. We were at a social that was Great Gatsby themed with my sorority (Alpha Sigma Tau) and his fraternity (Kappa Sigma). One of my sisters came up to me to tell me that Tim Suder wanted to talk to me and get to know me. I then remember going to the bar in the Kappa Sigma basement asking Tim for a drink. I remember him smiling at me and then I of course ran away awkwardly.

Nevertheless, we started officially dating in September 2014.

2013: How We Met

Our friends Scott and Elyse wanted to go out to brunch (my absolute favorite)&nbsp;after Elyse starting a new job, and me being at mine for one year. We went to James in&nbsp;Philadelphia, and I noticed Tim was being a little off. Not thinking much of it, I let it go.&nbsp;Elyse and Scott kept suggesting visiting the art museum.&nbsp;I've never been, so&nbsp;I was actually pretty excited. We walked down to Logans Square, and they wanted pictures in front of the fountain.&nbsp;Again,&nbsp;I wasn't thinking much of it.&nbsp;I took a&nbsp;few&nbsp;of them, and then we took some. As Tim was walking towards the fountain,&nbsp;I noticed the box&nbsp;in his pocket (oops!), and then when we took the picture,&nbsp;I noticed his heart was beating really fast. Seconds later, he was on one knee.We then spent the morning/afternoon going to Assembly Rooftop/Bar, and a few other spots. Tim made it known we had reservations at Maggianos at 6, which worked for me since I&nbsp;love&nbsp;eggplant parmesan. We head back from the city, and Scott and Elyse went to drop us off until...I opened my front door, and over 50 of our friends/family are standing in front of us. Tim had created a Facebook (he doesn't have one) and invited all of our friends to come celebrate with us on this special day. It was WILD, but a wonderful night. We are so excited for fall 2020!

UPDATE 8/20/20: We are aware of many concerns by our guests, and wanted to provide what Normandy Farm is doing to keep the guests safe during COVID-19. The wedding is completely outside, under a tent, where guests will be&nbsp;distanced and only one side of the tent will be&nbsp;covered for proper ventilation. There will be signs throughout the hotel showcasing CDC guidelines, as well as sanitizing stations throughout. All guests and staff are required to wear masks.
