Wedding planner Gina Sole of Rittenhouse Square says she didn't know what to make of the couple from out of town who wanted to get married at Church of the Holy Trinity on Saturday, with a reception following at Cairnwood mansion in Bryn Athyn with food by Peachtree & Ward. Sole says she was one of five or six planners who sat for interviews. Only after she got the job did she learn that the groom was Adrian Perry, son of Aerosmith's Joe Perry. He was marrying fellow D.C. lawyer Anne Cortina. With the bride's family in New Jersey and the groom's from Boston, Philly was neutral turf.

The guests overnighted at the Rittenhouse Hotel. After the ceremony, the 200 people were packed in eight limos and three buses for the ride through the rain from Center City to Montco. The afterparty was at Rouge back on Rittenhouse Square.

Photog Mike Kehr relates that the music was great. One of the bands was TAB, Perry's side project. For one Bo Diddley blues number, Joe and Adrian got up to play with Adrian's brother Tony. Also at the wedding was Aerosmith's Brad Whitford.
