Mrs. Lioness, Atlanta Age and Occupation: 25, Physical Therapist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Attorney Engagement Date: August 29, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Anthony’s Fine Dining About Me: I’m a Southern girl with New England roots. I say "wicked" and "y’all" in the same sentence and I like to drink sweet tea with my lobster. Mr. Lion and I are both former Floridians now living in Atlanta, which fortunately is still SEC country...Go Gators! We both love baseball, coffee, traveling, cooking, and playing Words with Friends with each other on our iPhones all day long. I’m very passionate about the things and the people I love, and I tend to plan things with all of my heart...our wedding, of course, is no different! Oh, and also Mr. Lion is a first generation American of Cuban descent. I may look more like Lucy than Ricky, but I’m doing my best to incorporate some Latin elements into our vintage-garden-Southern wedding!

Love is Where We Are: The Getaway

At one point in the night, I noticed that all of our groomsmen had mysteriously disappeared from the reception. I could only assume that they were decorating our getaway car, a theory later confirmed by photographic evidence:

I really wanted to rent a white vintage car, like a Rolls Royce or something that I imagined would appear in an old movie.

I kept putting the transportation portion of our budget on the back burner; it just wasn’t a priority of ours. Eventually, that part of our budget was still on the back burner, and our wedding was a week away! I begrudgingly accepted that my 1997 Accord would be our getaway car. In hindsight, it was perfect. I was glad we were able to spend more on our priority budget items, and my car turned out just fine.

It’s kind of hard to see in that picture, but beyond the paint (and pollen), my car was filled with a certain decoration that just so happened to be consistent with our theme.

How in the world did we get inside our car with all of those balloons in the way?! Guess you’ll have to stay tuned…

Awesome! I wish this had happened with our car, but it didn’t. Love pictures like this.
