Engagement: Fellman – Slovis

Jeffrey Fellman and Lauri Field of Atlanta are thrilled to announce the engagement of their daughter, Melissa Fellman, to Elliot Slovis, son of Adam and Jolie Slovis, and Amy and John Israel Pregulman, all residing in Memphis.

Melissa is the granddaughter of Donald and Janice Field, the late Jack and Ellen Mills, and the late Saul and Estelle Fellman. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland and has a bachelor’s degree in marketing and supply chain management.

Elliot is the grandson of Norman and Sylvia Slovis of Gainesville, and Allen and Jeri Israel of Memphis, Tenn. He is a graduate of College of Charleston and has a master’s degree from Tulane University in architecture.

Melissa and Elliot met almost seven years ago in New York City through a mutual southern Jewish connection. Melissa’s friend was sorority sisters at the University of Georgia with Elliot’s cousin. The girls introduced the pair, Melissa and Elliot went on a date, and the rest is history! They live in Brooklyn, N.Y., with Melissa working in early talent recruiting at a tech firm, and Elliot working in architectural project management.

An October wedding is planned in Memphis.
