Things to do up in the North Georgia Mountains (Near where Blake and Jess first met - UNG):
This would be a day trip! it is about an hour away from the church!
University of North Georgia - Dahlonega Campus
Visit the campus of Jess and Blake's college and the town square next to the school! Awesome antique stores. Blake was a cadet in the SROTC program studying Biology. Everyday he would observe the raising and descending of the flag everyday. Three times a week he would do PT out in the middle of the drill field with his company. Then after PT he had to truck up that giant hill behind the cafeteria every day! Jess lived in one of the dorms her freshmen year and found herself embedded in the Catholic community at St. Luke's Catholic Church. This is where she found her lifelong friends, Bethany and Erin, who are bridesmaids at the wedding.
Chestatee River Adventures
DahloneGo - Winery Tours
There are A LOT of wineries around Dahlonega! I would recommend booking a tour.

Anna Ruby Falls Recreation Area
Go see one of the greatest waterfalls in Georgia! Jess and Blake went to a waterfall (not as big as this one) and Jess was climbing up the waterfall. Blake tried to follow her up at the top but instead, he slipped and went all the way down the bottom backward on his butt. His life flashed before his eyes....
