Eli Manning marries on the beach
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning married his college sweetheart, Abby McGrew, on Saturday.
The two exchanged vows in a 15-minute sunset ceremony in front of the Sea of Cortez in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the New York Daily News reported.
Around 60 close friends and family were flown to Mexico to attend the event, and they included Mannings parents and brothers, Cooper and Peyton.
"Everything in their lives is so big, I think they wanted this wedding to be really small and elegant and intimate," said McGrew's Nashville-based wedding planner.
"Welcome to one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever presided over," the minister said at the beginning of the ceremony, according to the News. A reception followed on the beach.
The couple met while students at the University of Mississippi. Manning reportedly proposed during a trip to Hoboken, NJ last March. They selected the resort for their wedding after vacationing there several times.
Manning has played with the Giants since 2004, and this year he was named Super Bowl MVP after his team upset the New England Patriots. His new wife is an account executive for fashion designer Pamela Roland.
