Actually I think the correct wording would be
it was I "who" suggested...

The correct choice is it was I that suggested. One way to know that this is correct is to place me and I in front of was, since it refers to the personal pronoun. Anyway, it's obvious that I was it sounds better and is more grammatically correct than me is it. In general, use I when it is the subject of a sentence; use me after a preposition.

It was I that suggested.... is the correct one.
Ask yourself: Who suggested it? I did.
Not: Who suggested it? Me did.
One wouldn't say "Me suggested it". They would say "I suggested it". Thus, making the second one right.
Good luck & I hope this helped!

Following a form of the verb "be," use "I" instead of "me"
