Just minutes after the Giants completed their heart-stopping Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots on Sunday night, rookie linebacker Greg Jones got on one knee on the confetti-covered sideline at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and proposed to his girlfriend, Amanda Piechowski.
Needless to say, the lucky bride-to-be was overwhelmed and said "yes" to the Super Bowl XLVI champ, according to ESPN New York.
“She was bawling,” Jones told ESPN New York. “Just everything we have been through together ... she has been there since day one.” The Giant rookie from Michigan State has known Piechowski for three years. He described the engagement ring as having a brilliant-cut round center diamond with smaller diamond accents on the band.
When Jones' girlfriend ran onto the field to find her boyfriend, she had no idea what was in store. Already emotional about the Giants' win, Piechowski was crying when Jones started to dig into his pocket for the ring.
"He pulls out a box and I am still not comprehending what he was about to do," she told ESPN New York. "We had talked about wanting to get married next year possibly, but in terms of this happening last night, no not at all. I didn't know he had a ring."
Jones got down on one knee on the field and said, "Amanda Piechowski, will you spend the rest of your life with me?" She said that despite the commotion all around them she felt as if they were the only two people on the field.
"It honestly felt quiet for a second," she said. "I didn't even know what they were doing with the trophy [celebration]."
According to Jones, the night couldn't have been more perfect. The best night of his football career became the best night of his life.
