Ed Kelce couldn't stop talking about his son's intricate plans. He told News 5's John Kosich that Travis had been planning the big show for months.

“Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago. He was going to put it off till this week. I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event. And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event ... when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you,” Ed told Kosich.

The Super Bowl winner, as per his father, asked Swift out for dinner.

"He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, 'let's go out and have a glass of wine,' ... they got out there, and that's when he asked her, and it was beautiful, They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great."
