Shout Out to Four Seasons Spa Atlanta

Big K and Little K just before getting gussied up for the wedding. At right is Max and Jo Kearns' "backyard."



After a relaxing day at the Casa de Pauley-Kearns in the North Georgia mountains and celebrating Jenna Prince and Chris Farmer's wedding, Johanna and I headed to Atlanta to meet Jenna Rinehart Rassif. An incredible five hours was spent at the Four Seasons Spa, followed by dinner at the Terrace(Ellis Hotel) and incredible desserts at the Intermezzo Cafe around the corner, where we ran into Miami Dolphins star Brandon Taylor- whom I wouldn't recognize but Jenna is a Dolphins season ticket holder. That spa is a definite repeat!






Jenna and Johanna - lifelong friends. Johanna on the porch at Fox Run - see the mountains reflected in the glass.


We're now seeking recommendations for other spectacular girls weekend retreats!

The Prince and the Farmer Wedding












Here comes the bride...




The bridal procession makes its way down the path and the bridgegroom waits with a smile.








The band and gluten-free cupcakes and, of course, the cake. The groom's cake was a delicious lemony treat as well.










The wind beneath her sails and Jenna says "I do."







Mr. and Mrs. Farmer








The wedding arbor, built by Chris, with help from Jenna and friends.






The day started with the girls getting their hair done with flower girl karolina all decked out but the attention soon turned to Jenna who looked elegant and stole the show throughout the night. The wedding arbor, done by Chris, with help from Jenna and friends, was amazing and from which hung beautiful stained glass by a friend from Ashville.
