Laura & Todd|Wedding at the Arts Ballroom

Laura and Todd both met at the University of Delaware. They were set up by a mutual friend for Laura's 'crush party.' Laura loves that Todd is not afraid to be himself and have fun even if others think he is weird. He is supportive of my ideas and ambitions. Todd is also understanding. Laura is kind and compassionate. When they met, he loved her little quirks that made her unique. From the way she snorts when she laughs too hard to the little jumpy dance that she does when she is having fun on the dance floor, they all drew him in.

After graduating from UD, Laura moved to Long Island, and Todd moved to Philadelphia. They dated in these two distanced locations for three years. They both fell in love in Philly, visiting each other weekly for this time, doing all kinds of activities and sightseeing. Where both would run by the Schuylkill River in the morning, grab a Wawa hoagie, coffee, and Doritos, and then see what the day had in store for them!.

The Proposal:

Todd proposed to Laura two times. The first time was in their first apartment next to their first Christmas tree with a note and flowers. The second time was in another apartment with Laura's parents. Todd made a video montage that would play in which he quickly changed outfits, and grabbed the ring and flowers!

Here are some favorites from their wedding at the Arts Ballroom beautifully captured by Ralph Deal Photography.
