When Peachtree Corners officials approved the city's iconic pedestrian bridge that now crosses Peachtree Parkway, they probably didn't anticipate the bridge would become the setting for romance. But Jordan and Simone LaFrance will tell you it was the perfect spot for their engagement on New Year's Day, 2022. 'I grew up in Berkeley Lake,' said Simone. 'I grew up going to The Forum. It used to be Duluth, but now it's Peachtree Corners. I've been in this area my whole life. This is where I'm from. So, I came home from college in 2021 and we would just frequently hang out on the bridge.
