Calling all SEC football fans! Do you want your nuptials in Knoxville? Or back where you first felt that spark in Starkville? You can exchange vows at Vandy, or say “I do” at Mizzou.
As the official sausage of the SEC, Johnsonville knows the struggles of planning a fall wedding as an SEC fan, so we teamed up with the SEC to launch a Tailgate Wedding Contest. Johnsonville will throw one lucky couple their very own tailgate wedding during their favorite game of the 2018 SEC football season!
It’s hard for couples to find a date in the fall for a wedding since they tend to be consumed by football and Tim Tebow wants to help by inviting you to enter the Tailgate Wedding Contest
The winning couple will receive their very own tailgate wedding at a school of a game of their choice during the 2018 football season and Tim Tebow himself will be there to kick off the happy marriage! Johnsonville will take care of the details, from the ceremony to the reception with the world’s largest grill.
