Stephanie Morgan Bloom and Spencer Frederick Lucker were married July 6 at the Garden Theater, an events space in Detroit. Rabbi Paul M. Yedwab officiated, with Rabbi Eugene H. Levy participating.
Mrs. Lucker, 31, is the director of client engagement at Bloom Asset Management in Farmington Hills, Mich., of which her father is an owner. Before joining the firm last February she was a project leader in the retail practice at the Boston Consulting Group. She graduated from the University of Michigan, and received a master’s degree in teaching from American University and an M.B.A. from Columbia.
She is a daughter of Pamela J. Bloom and Kenneth J. Bloom of West Bloomfield, Mich. Her mother was a stay-at-home parent.
Mr. Lucker, also 31, is an industry engagement manager for the Detroit Mayor’s Office of Workforce Development. He develops partnerships in the technology sector among employers. He graduated cum laude from the University of Arkansas, from which he also received a master’s degree in public service.
He is the son of Elizabeth A. Lucker and Mary S. Machen of Little Rock, Ark. Ms. Lucker retired as a child development and parenting teacher at Hall High School, as well as a licensed independent professional counselor and social worker, both in Little Rock. Ms. Machen, who is also retired, was a social worker and the director of community outreach at the Carti Cancer Treatment Center.
The couple were introduced in 2010 by mutual friends at a Washington Nationals home game while Ms. Bloom was living in Washington, and Mr. Lucker was visiting from Arkansas, and then ran into each other at parties and events. In 2015, they had their first date in Washington while he lived there, and she lived in New York. They began a long-distance relationship, and three years later he proposed at what she called her “favorite place on earth,” Camp Tamarack in Ortonville, Mich., where she had spent 13 summers.
