Eli Manning and Abby McGrew tied the knot on April 19, 2008 in a beautiful, intimate ceremony at The One & Only Palmilla Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The New York Post reported that "only close relatives" attended the festivities, which included, per My New Orleans, "a lavish sit-down dinner near the water's edge," complete with a gourmet, five-tier "chocolate and white cake," as well as "individual chocolate rings [distributed] to all the guests, served on a silver platter by the groomsmen, the same way the real Super Bowl rings are presented."
McGrew got her ring the year before during a trip she and Manning took back to his hometown of New Orleans. There, the star QB popped the question with a custom-designed, "gorgeous Adler's emerald-cut center stone ring, flanked by two emerald-cut diamonds on either side."
Of the happy bride and groom, their Nashville wedding consultant Karen Kaforey told The New York Post, "[McGrew] really is a sweetheart. ... Both families are very, very sweet."
