Giants' Eli Manning Gets Married in Mexico

2008_04_eliwedding.jpgGiants quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning married his Ole Miss sweetheart Abby McGraw in Mexico last night. The couple, who got engaged during a date in Hoboken, had a sunset beach ceremony at the One&Only Palmilla resort in Cabo San Lucas.

Manning's brothers Cooper and Peyton shared best man duties, while McGrew's sisters shared maid-of-honor duties. About 60 people attended the intimate wedding, which the minister called "one of the most beautiful...I have ever presided over." McGrew's Nashville-based wedding planner said, "Everything in their lives is so big, I think they wanted this wedding to be really small and elegant and intimate."

The News has a lot of inside details. For instance, before the wedding, Manning worked out--"running furiously on the treadmill, lifting weights and doing push-ups for an hour and-and-a-half"--and hung out at the pool with his friends and brothers, until a wedding planner had to get them out to get ready. And apparently big brother Peyton "slung his arm around his brother and whispered words of encouragement in his ear."

The couple is registered at Williams-Sonoma and Neiman Marcus.

Booo...Eli, you missed out on your chance with me!

Although the guy seems nice and all he really comes off as a dufus. She's way too hot for him.

Best of luck with your marriage Eli!

Imagine coming out of a come to read that. WOOHOO!

You da Manning!

I have nothing to say but wanted to grace this page with the Giants' logo----------------->>>

She's 24, barely out of college. Too young to get married in my opinion, but millions of dollars are probably worth it. Besides, she can become a desperate housewife & get a divorce in a few years.

24 is too young? Get a grip. There are individuals out there that have been dropping kids for ten years at that age.
