2. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
It's safe to say that when Mackenzie Park and Jordan Binggeli take the field on Sunday at halftime for a Bills-themed wedding ceremony, they'll have the "something blue" covered. The ecstatic winners of the Bills "Halftime Wedding Experience of a Lifetime" contest, presented by Reeds Jenss, the couple will take to the 50-yard line to put a ring on it and say, "I do" before friends, family and a full house of cheering fans. Officiated by longtime Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams (Rev. Williams), the wedding of the century will also feature a bridal party complete with other Bills Legends!
Fans who can't make it to New Era Field to see the magic happen, can still view the wedding ceremony, presented by Reeds Jenss, LIVE on buffalobills.com, Facebook, Twitter, the Bills Mobile app, presented by M&T Bank, and the My One Buffalo app.
