McAfree, known as "The Boomstick" during his eight-season NFL career with the Colts (2009-2016), tweeted that the couple "smiled, laughed and cried a bit" before they sat down to sandwiches at a table in front of the waterfall.

“Yesterday was awesome,” McAfee wrote. “I’m the luckiest dude on this here planet.”
