Eli Manning And Fiancée Wed On Mexico Beach

New York Giants' quarterback Eli Manning and his longtime fiancée Abby McGrew tied the knot in a beachside ceremony on Mexico's Baja Peninsula this Saturday with close friends and family in attendance.

According to New York Daily News, the 27-year-old Super Bowl champ and his 24-year old college sweetheart said their "I do's" in a dream-like scenery, on a platform in the sand as waves crashed over rocks behind them at the One&Only Palmilla in Cabo San Lucas.

Wearing a white strapless gown with gold embroidering, McGrew walked down the isle, which was covered in pink wildflowers, carrying roses followed by six bridesmaids sporting Badgley Mischka champagne-colored dresses, purchased at Karen Kaforey's boutique, b.Hughes.

"The dresses with the earrings look absolutely gorgeous," Kaforey, a Nashville wedding planner McGrew consulted for the big day, was quoted by the New York Post as saying. "Very elegant."

Kaforey said McGrew was an easygoing bride and "a delight to work with."

A spokeswoman for Badgley Mischka said McGrew "pulled the [bridesmaid] dress right off the rack," adding, "A lot of times, celebrities will ask for a lot of alterations, 'I want this changed, I want that changed.' She didn't do that at all."

"Everything in their lives is so big, I think they wanted this wedding to be really small and elegant and intimate," Kaforey said of the low-key event.

The wedding march was played by a trio - a guitarist, violinist and cellist.

"Welcome to one of the most beautful weddings I have ever presided over," the minister said, opening the ceremony.

Earlier this week, Manning slipped several details regarding this weekend's event in an interview with People magazine saying
"It’s coming up," referring to the nuptials.  He also revealed that the guest list would most likely be small with only close friends and family while keeping most details to himself.

About 60 loved ones flew to Mexico to be by Manning and his bride's side during the most important day of their lives. Guests were ferried to the beach in golf carts and were served white wine, Veuve Cliquot champagne and sparkling water by white tuxedoed waiters as they filed into white folding chairs decorated with gold ribbons.

The guest list included famous football star and brother Peyton, older brother, Cooper, parents, Olivia and Archie Manning, who had an illustrious career in football as well.

Manning, who met McGrew while they were students at the University of Mississippi, proposed to her in March 2007 in Hoboken, NJ, where he lives.
