An elaborate party shell game resulted in a Who Dat marriage proposal in the French Quarter on Friday night.
Saints Coach Sean Payton proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Skylene Montgomery, at a private party at the Longway Tavern that was pitched to her as a toast to the 15th anniversary of the wedding of Saints owner Gayle Benson and her late husband, Tom Benson.
The "toast" was, however, billed to friends and family as a surprise party in anticipation of Montgomery's 35th birthday, which is Dec.
Payton said as a jam-packed crowd surrounded the couple.
