‘”You know, it is such a great honor, and I do appreciate being honored for my work,” Allen said. “But at the same time, I still didn’t win a Super Bowl. Didn’t win a ring, and that is the only goal. It’s the only focus that I’ve ever had going into this league.”‘

‘After Allen and Steinfeld said ‘I do,’ the newlyweds exited the altar to Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).” They also got a round of applause, from the sky that is: “The coolest thing happened after we got married: We walked off the aisle … and it started thundering.
