An Elegant, Outdoor Wedding at Barnsley Resort in Adairsville, Georgia
After meeting through mutual friends, Lauren Fox (30 and president of Fox Events) and Andrew Pettit (27 and a process specialist) wed in a mid-June celebration at Barnsley Resort in Adairsville, Georgia. "It's essentially a really nice summer camp for adults," Lauren says of their resort venue, which was outfitted with green, pink and gold details. After Lauren and Andrew tied the knot, a gospel choir performed Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" as the pair exited the ceremony space. Later, that same choir led guests from the cocktail hour, which took place at the on-site mansion ruins, to the outdoor reception just a short walk away. Lauren and Andrew's nephews donned classic black tuxedos, bow ties and Vans shoes while they walked the couple's beagle, Sherman, down the aisle. Post ceremony, Andrew and his 12 groomsmen changed into similar sneakers for a casual party look, while guests relaxed in luxe lounge furniture. But even before they got engaged, both Lauren and Andrew knew Randy Travis's "Forever and Ever, Amen" would be their wedding song. "When Andrew proposed, he put our dog in a tuxedo and started to play that song," Lauren says. "It was so special—we celebrated with family into the wee hours of the night while it played on repeat."—Caroline Eubanks
