Super Bowl hero Eli Manning and his fiancée, Abby McGrew, are planning a private wedding this weekend in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
“It will be small, just friends and family,” a friend of the New York Giants quarterback is quoted as telling New York’s Daily News.
The engaged couple will reportedly fly to Mexico today, in anticipation of their Saturday event at the posh One & Only Palmilla resort.
On Saturday, says the Daily News, the wedding party will include Eli Manning’s brothers, Super Bowl XLI champ Peyton and older sibling (and former Ole Miss receiver) Cooper, as well as their parents, Olivia and Archie Manning.
The Giants’ Eli Manning vanquished the evil Patriots of New England in Super Bowl XLII. What better way to celebrate than marrying Abby McGrew?
Eli Manning and Abby McGrew, a 24-year-old Nashville native, got engaged just over a year ago, after he reportedly popped the question about signing her to a lifetime deal during a quiet night in their Hoboken, N.J., condo.
The two had met while both students at the University of Mississippi, and Abby McGrew is currently an account executive for Pamela Roland, a designer of evening wear and wedding dresses. They’re very cute together.
Earlier this month, the bride-to-be’s father, Tom McGrew, confirmed the couple’s upcoming wedding, telling the New York Post from his Tennessee home:
“It’s toward the end of April. It’s private.”
Congratulations to Eli and Abby from all of us at The Hollywood Gossip. Maybe this will spur other Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson to tie the knot!
