Emily says I have to be nice to the Gators when I write this post, but y’all don’t know how hard that is! (Just kidding… but not!) My hubs actually thinks I should have declined to write this post (yes, we are THAT big of Bama fans!). I, on the other hand, am happy to write it — Florida is at least in the SEC! Clearly college football love (and allegiances!) run deep in the South!
Also, today’s handsome groom-to-be is a professional football player, so how could I turn down writing a post about a fellow pro athlete’s wife? After all, it’s not an easy life, and we have to stick together!
Oh, and can I please just talk about how stinkin’ adorable these two are?! When their photographer, Anna Kirby, suggested Ali and Eric take their engagement photos at The Swamp (Ben Hill Griffin Stadium) they literally jumped at the idea! Ali says their engagement pictures “reflect our shared love of our family traditions, our university, and football.” Putting aside our allegiances, this lovely bride is a girl after my own heart! (AND, I want her cowboy boots!)
What’s your favorite college football team? Would you take or did you do your e-session (or your whole wedding) at your alma mater? How will you be incorporating your team into your big day?
P.S. Roll Tide, y’all! This is just one of the ways we incorporated college football into our wedding day!
P.S.S. Love e-sessions? Be sure to tune into our Facebook every Friday where we feature exclusive engagement sessions each week!

Too cute! Great work Anna Kirby Photography!!! Go Gators!
Go Gators! What fun engagement photos!! Congrats yall!
My husband and I added our own Gator traditions in our wedding last March. B’s cake was a Gator and I of course had my orange and blue garter.
We also added a phrase to the wedding day. Our pastor included it in the ceremony and we had it on our favors. “In all kinds of weather”- any Gator fan knows those words and sings them proudly between the 3rd and 4th quarter of games and my husband and I loved how it could also stand for us sticking together ‘in all kinds of weather’ during our marriage. :)
This is awesome! Such a cute e-session. Makes me long for the fall! We will definitely be including Gator gear into the wedding…Gator garter and orange and blue shakers for the send off. Might even have to make tags for the handles that include the “in all kinds of weather” phrase! Thanks for the great idea Janna! Go Gators!
