Susan Stewart & Everett Bleakney IV

Congratulations and Welcome to Susan Stewart and Everett Bleakney IV, and an extended congrats to their respective families; Ellen and Patrick Stewart; Kim and Everett Bleakney III.
The happy couple was engaged on November 25, 2011.
'I had volunteered to work on the store-level for Black Friday that morning and was exhausted by the time I got home. I had just passed my motorcycle test so I wanted to head to the DMV for my license! As we were waiting, I kept hanging on to him while we stood in line but he kept swatting me away. I recall grabbing his hand and saying 'wow you're hands are sweaty!'. We had tickets to go see The Cure that night and so Everett had attempted to make plans for us to walk through Central Park before the show. I had explained how I was tired and didn't want to. He then suggested walking through Bethpage State Park in which I again said I was tired and didn't want to. As we got home I had mentioned we could take a stroll to the local tiny park I went to as a child. All of a sudden he got really frustrated, grabbed me, sat me up on the kitchen table and proceeded to present his speech but in a way that I didn't understand. I thought I was in trouble but then I saw him lower himself down onto one knee!! All I kept saying was 'just say it! just say the words!!' and he asked me to marry him! I remember shaking and putting my hands out going 'I have no clue which one it goes on!!!'. And that's our very unromantic story. However it was a fantastic night and believe it or not, without even planning, we walked through Central Park to get to the Beacon Theatre...oops!'
They look forward to their October 6, 2012 nuptials at Bailey's Arboretum.
