Seattle Alumnae Club Co-President Susie Blake Weds

A regal wedding from start to finish! From seeing each other for the first time at a beautiful historic home on top of Queen Anne, Seattle to the Olympic Sculpture Park where they re-enacted his proposal under The Eagle, to the stately Trinity Parish on Capital Hill, then the Rolls Royce to the reception at the elegant Seattle Tennis Club on Lake Washington and finally, topped by the Susie and John Lane Day proclamation from Governor Chris Gregoire, their wedding day couldn’t have been better, or more historical! A warm, sunny day and the fabulous Michael Benson Band added to the well organized event – unlike the haphazard, absolutely-by-chance manner in which the couple met. Apparently, while on a flight, John’s mom happened onto a conversation between flight attendants about the remote Caribbean resort, Turks and Caicos, where John had just returned, so they started talking. One of the flight attendants is Susie’s good friend and she suggested they get together. The rest, as they say, is history!
