Dana & Josh in Clayton, GA

Offering guests a true taste of the area, Dana and Josh made the most of the inherent beauty of her father's Lake Burton home for their wedding celebration. THE BRIDE Dana Scharbo, 31 THE GROOM Josh Lieberman, 33 THE DATE June 23 Every guest was invited to the rehearsal dinner Friday night. We rented a pavilion on a river, brought in some barbecue and some old-fashioned Budweiser long-necks and Coca-Cola, hired a bluegrass band and a clogging crew, and had a good ol' hoedown, says Dana. The next day, all 240 guests either hopped aboard luxury buses, boats, or water taxis (for those staying on the lake), for a ride to the ceremony site. They started arriving at 4:30 p.m. for cocktails (which included Atlanta micro-brewed beers) and hors d'ouevres.
