The Heisman Trophy winner, former NFL quarterback and Christian author Tim Tebow has tied the knot with Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters. The ceremony took place at La Paris Estate in Cape Town, South Africa, People reported. The ceremony lasted for about 30-minute on Monday, January 20, 2020 in front of over 250 guests.

The couple wrote their own vows. Tebow said he wanted to make sure they're just right. "I want the vows to be perfect," he told People. "I'm leaving in the traditional things like till death do us part,' but I'm also adding some of my own things to it."

"I've been waiting my entire life for someone special, who I can spend the rest of my life with," he told People. "I was waiting for the right person to come along. And now I'm marrying Demi. I can't wait to see what our future holds. All of my dreams have come true. It was 100% worth the wait."

The devout Christian made faith a priority on his special day, sharing a group prayer with his closest friends and family ahead of the nuptials.

There was some playing around, with the guys enjoying a quick session of throwing a football before Tim got a haircut. He was also captured getting a manicure and a massage.
