Although they’d known each other since grade school, this local couple didn’t get together until meeting again years later at a high-school mixer. A decade later, they began planning their wedding in Philadelphia, the city she and Brian traversed throughout college when he was at Penn, and she was at St. Joe’s. Their Big Day was an elegant but unstuffy affair, on beautiful summer day at the Curtis Center.

Aly’s Lazaro gown, with its beaded bodice, layered chiffon skirt and taupe sash, was the first dress she tried on, and she knew right away it would be perfect for walking down the aisle toward her groom.
