Are you ready for some football (with a side of ‘til death do us part)?
Buffalo Bills superfans Mackenzie Park and Jordan Binggeli got married in front of 70,000 people on Sunday, tying the knot at the 50-yard line of New Era Field, as the Bills took on the New England Patriots.
As the winners of the “Halftime Wedding Experience of a Lifetime” contest, the couple got to make history, participating in the NFL’sfirst-ever halftime wedding.
Afterward, the pair triumphantly raised their hands together as the bride pumped her other fist in the air.
Although getting married in the middle of a football game might not be every bride’s dream, the Bills have played an important part in the couple’s relationship.
Park and Binggeli had theirfirst dateat a game back in 2008 and almost a decade later, Binggelipopped the question at a tailgate party, the couple told the team.
While tossing a football around ahead of the 2017 game, Park noticed a special note Binggeli had inscribed on the ball: “You intercepted my heart. Let’s tackle the world together. Will you marry me?”
Long before she met Binggeli, the team was also a big part of Park’s life, as growing up she went to many games with her late father.

While their ceremony may have bucked tradition, the pair still managed to share many of the regular firsts — just away from the cameras.
“We still wanted to provide a full wedding experience,” Shaena Kershner, vice president of marketing for the team toldWIBV. “So, they’re gonna have hair and make up before the wedding starts. They’ll have cake cutting and a first dance after. They also get to watch the second half in the business class with all the legends that are here which I think there are 120 legends.”
