We are best friends who literally read each other’s minds. 7 years of love going strong. Going to be wed October 2026!!
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
In community college, we had public speaking together. We were both expecting just to have a fun fall fling, because Patrick was going to be moving to finish his education. We ended up getting staying together through Covid, long distance, and a few different moves.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our engagement in Central Park. New York City was alive with a concert and as Patrick went to one knee to propose, Lara pulled a ring out as well (we both said yes)!
What would you do with $20,000?Save for a house!! We were close to buying this year, but the seller wasn’t willing to fix issues our inspection had shown. So we ended up signing another year lease at our rental home. Now, we are still in search of our first home to own.
