Eli Manning and soon-to-be wife Abby McGrew.

Well, if you had Eli Manning on bended knee asking you to marry him, what would you say?

The New York Giants quarterback surprised longtime girlfriend Abby McGrew with a sparkling diamond ring and a proposal Tuesday night. After a speechless moment, the lady said "yes."

"It was really low-key - it happened at home at a very unexpected moment," says a source. "It was so Eli - casual, no-frills, so in his nature."

But that doesn't mean the 6-foot-4 26-year-old wasn't nervous.

"He's been planning this for a few months and wanted to make it really special for Abby, because they've been together since college" at the University of Mississippi, says the insider.

Eli's big brother, Peyton Manning - the Indianapolis Colts quarterback and reigning Super Bowl MVP - is in town for "Saturday Night Live" this week, "so all the Mannings are in the New York area to congratulate the happy couple," says the source.

Wow, she has set the standard for the title of "trophy wife"

Wow, she has set the standard for the title of "trophy wife"

Except she's not that good looking (or at least that's not a very flattering picture).

 

[SultanOfSix]

Same girl:

LOL.

Same girl:

LOL.

I don't think that's her. This is her from the front:

Yeah, need more photos but anything that goofy smuck lands can be considered a trophy wife!

 

[SultanOfSix]

I really can't tell that they're different from that picture.

Since they've been together since his college days, I'd assume they were the same.

That is, unless Eli's a player (well, at least in one type of way)

Well, if you had Eli Manning on bended knee asking you to marry him, what would you say?

There are so many words that come to mind that involve the word NO.

Was this from the San Fransico Examiner or something?

It's the off season...bite me.

 

[StevenOtero]

It's the off season...bite me.

:laugh2:

 

[Hostile]

I don't think that's her. This is her from the front:

She doesn't look bad in that picture.

 

[Aikmaniac]

She doesn't look bad in that picture.

Kinda revealing dress considering the business nature of that pic.

No complaints from me though.

Is that the sister of the guy he is engaged too?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

No kidding.

Until Rack gets here, let me say that anyone claiming she's dogmeat and that they're doing tons better is a baldfaced liar.

 

[carphalen5150]

I just hope his kids do not inherit the fiveheads that he and Peyton have.

 

[the kid 05]

Is that the sister of the guy he is engaged too?

 

[theogt]

She doesn't look bad in that picture.

No, she definitely has some very nice qualities.

:busty:

 

[CATCH17]

Hes still a goober..

 

[DanTanna]

Is she the one with the name tag?
