We both grew up in Boxford, MA and attended the same schools from kindergarten through high school. But we didn't really get to know each other until high school, when we were brought together by the French exchange. In February of junior year, we finally went out. What was the first thing that attracted you to each other? Garret: I thought Lara was very smart, very pretty, and she really seemed to appreciate my dog, Sadie. Lara: I really liked Garret's dog Sadie. What do you remember about the first date? Lara: That we went to Wendy's. Garret: That was just for a Frosty for dessert. We also went to a now-defunct Chinese restaurant, Szechuan Taste. What would you have said in high school if someone told you that you'd be getting married? Garret: I didn't even know what marriage was. Lara: I would have believed it!
