This all happened during a two-minute timeout, as the crowd at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida were able to witness this couple tie the knot.
With this in mind, many pointed out how this may go down as one of the most epic weddings in sports history.
The announcers were heard saying, "They have two bands at their wedding and 50,000 guests and an unlimited source of Cheez-Its for their party."

Many are probably wondering how Ched-Z (Cheez-It mascot) was able to get ordained to officiate the wedding.
As one of the announcers asked, "But how do you officiate a wedding without the ability to talk?"
Certainly it was unconventional to say the least, nevertheless, the bride said it was an obvious decision.
"We love Cheez-Its, we love football, we love each other, so why not?"
Illinois held on to win 21-17, as running back Josh McCray rushed for 114 yards and had two touchdowns.
All in all, the couple, who have been identified as Erin and Erik, are certainly the ones who stole the show and will forever have a story to tell.
