Name: Lara
Age: 26
Location: West Philly
Occupation: Clinical Research Coordinator
Marital Status: Engaged
SO/FI/DH's age and occupation: 28, Behavioralist (works with mostly autistic kids implementing ABA)
Engagement date: 11/2011
Wedding date: uhh... ask me later!
Wedding Venue: ditto
Honeymoon location: probably Ithaca, NY. Somewhere low-key, relaxing, and CLOSE. No airplanes for us. We just got back from a massively exhausting and pricey trip to India, I'm off to Senegal and Haiti within the next year, and we know we'll have a lifetime to travel abroad together!
Kids: No.
Pets: Not yet. Debating getting a bunny.
About you: A lifelong Philly girl, love my job working in research at Penn and absolutely in love with my neighborhood in West Philly. FI and I have been engaged since just before Thanksgiving 2011, and are planning on an 18-24 month engagement. It takes time to pay for this ish! We'll be planning what we think be the best party ever for our friends and family. We don't care about flowers or decor, just getting our guests fed, drunk, and dancing. Looking for ideas about doing a wedding on the cheap in Philly. (and yes, I know that's nearly impossible!)
