Melanie & Perry

October 29, 2023

Girl meets boy next door... Perry happened to move to a small town Orleans on Cape Cod in an apartment directly next to Melanie's parents' house in 2020. Their two worlds collided in 2021 when Melanie's sister, Abigail, discovered their new neighbor, Perry, was a jack of all trades. They began a friendship after Perry spent many hours helping Abby set up her design studio and sewing machine. Soon, the whole family would come to know Perry and love him! When Perry first met Melanie, he recalls thinking she was sassy, but that didn't stop him from being around her. Perry and Melanie began spending more and more time together, just the two of them, as just friends. The spring of 2021 was when their friendship began blossoming into more after spending nights stargazing, grilling in the backyard, and driving out to outer Nauset beach after work to fish and have a fire together. Their friendship was built on laughter, quality time, and a genuine care for each other. No matter how hard they tried to deny it they fell in love with each other. To this day, their favorite thing to do together is spend as much time as they can outdoors and on the beach in their Coachmen RV camper. They enjoy fishing together, cooking meals, having bonfires, and spending their time with friends and family. They make the perfect team and feel so excited and blessed to start their lives together with everyone they love there to celebrate!
