Via NOLA.com:
Saints Coach Sean Payton proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Skylene Montgomery, at a private party at the Longway Tavern that was pitched to her as a toast to the 15th anniversary of the wedding of Saints owner Gayle Benson and her late husband, Tom Benson.
Gayle Benson was in on the ploy, giving Montgomery a fake invitation to the anniversary toast. The “toast” was, however, billed to friends and family as a surprise party in anticipation of Montgomery’s 35th birthday, which is Dec. 4.
“Skylene, I love you!” Payton said as a jam-packed crowd surrounded the couple. He then asked the former Miss West Virginia USA to marry him.
Congratulations! Skylene will now officially get half of that NFL head coaching money.
