Returning to an Epic 2025 Florida-Georgia Tailgate
This past November I embarked on my second annual tailgate for the popular Florida–Georgia football game in Jacksonville, Florida.

In late June, my best friend of about 20 years got married, and I was the maid of honor. This was my second-ever wedding I’d been to and my first time in a bridal party. I didn’t realize how much time was spent getting ready and taking photos until that day, when we arrived at the venue around 10:30 a.m. with our dresses and shoes in hand.
