Bengals kicker Evan McPherson marries longtime girlfriend in their Alabama hometown

With one outstanding rookie NFL season under his belt, Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson married longtime girlfriend Gracie Groat on Saturday in their hometown of Fort Payne, Alabama.

The couple got engaged about one year ago at Cragsmere Manor in DeKalb County, Alabama.

While McPherson fans are awaiting more photos from the wedding day, there were social media posts leading up to it (and a couple from Saturday):
