In the Groove of the Move

We are half-way through our move to Nashville and packing up the last of it this weekend to make it final.  It's almost surreal, especially given that we'll be back at least twice this fall, that we really don't live in Atlanta anymore.  We're really sad to leave our friends here.  But we are totally excited to start a new chapter in our lives in Nashville.  And you Atlantans and Savannahites better rev up your engines for a road trip to the Country Music Capitol!  We'll be ready to host some guests in the new Perry household real soon.  :)

Engagement Pics are Posted!

At long last, Keoni has posted our engagement pics. We think:

a.) Keoni is talented and the wedding photos are going to be fab
b.) Julia SERIOUSLY needs a tan
c.) Sexy, come-hither, kissy poses are just not our style
d.) Bridesmaids may have to be on fanning duty and groomsmen on towel-down patrol to keep Will from completely drenching in sweat if it's a hot day

What do you think? Let us know your favorites.

Engagement Pics

This past weekend was a wild one. We traveled up to Louisville, KY for our friends' wedding. It was simply lovely and made us so very excited for our own.

On the way back, we spent Saturday night with my parents and then did an engagement shoot with our photographer, Keoni K as well as some informal house hunting. We'll have pics from the shoot posted to this blog soon - we're really looking forward to seeing what he has in store for us.

Rings, Scratches, and Cards

So we spent the weekend doing wedding stuff and my ring was in so we went and picked it up ... whoa ...

I put it on and immediately began to shake it off (if you didn't know I have an issue with jewelry) so I decided to wear it for awhile to try and get used to it. We also found out that every finger on my left hand was the same size (14) ... except the pinky, thumb included though.

I got used to it for awhile, but I did manage to scratch it up a bit. Anyone who knows me should expect nothing less. Mimi always calls me a 'bull in a china shop' so this should have been of no surprise to Julia, but she was a bit upset.

We also got our save the date cards taken care of. 4 months to go and we are on track =)

The wedding bells are coming .. yes it must be getting close

Well if anything puts a wedding in perspective it's rings. Julia and I were out looking for rings the other day mostly for her eternity band, but luck would have it found mine instead ... lucky for me I didn't have to come off the $ for her other one yet that is =)

Turns out I am pretty simple and the titanium band is pretty non invasive (for those who don't know me I hate having things on my including jewelery, watches, etc)


... its in and I am excited

Sentimental Stuff!


Yes, I can be sentimental and caring, and just to show how far that goes we have been frantically searching for ways to include those who mean so much to me, but are no longer with us, in the wedding! David and Papa.

Well luck would have it that David was the ring bearer in my Aunt Faye's wedding and low and behold she still has the pillow, which will also carry our rings also.

Finding Papa in the wedding may be an easy spot for some who are close to the family, but for others you may wonder why there is a 1940's wedding cake topper with a man in a Navy Uniform, well that's because its Papa and Mimi's wedding cake topper and he was a Navy Pilot.

I thought it was the perfect way to bring them along for the ride and will make the day all the more special for Julia and I.
