When halftime rolled around during Sunday’s Super Bowl, Abbi Landis got up to do some cooking. She had a house full of friends and family, and was surprised when everyone assured her they were stuffed and she should sit back down.

The party guests knew what she didn’t: that her live-in boyfriend Marc Sanchez was going to propose to her as part of a Jewelry Design Center commercial airing during the halftime show.

“I was so surprised. It’s very out of character for him,” Landis said Monday morning. “I keep thinking, ‘Is this real? Are we really going to do this?’”/ Pia Hallenberg , SR. More here.
