By now, we’re assuming you’ve seen the Tim Tebow Marriage proposal:

We tracked down the groom-to-be, Ian Lis, and asked him five questions on the proposal and Tebow. His answers will literally rock your world.

After reading the interview, check out Tebow’s charity over at the Tim Tebow Foundation website. Regardless of fan allegiance, you can’t deny that he’s taking advantage of his fame and doing some great things for people in need.

How did this incredible engagement story come to be?

Long story.  In short, a good idea and phenomenal execution by my whole family as well as Jim (Palm Beach Autographs owner who was running the event) and Tim Tebow of course.  Tebow agreed ahead of time and my sister came up with most of the execution at the event.

Everyone knows how great of a class act Tim Tebow is. What was it like meeting him in person? Did he offer you any advice as you prepare to take this huge step in life?

He is a class act, but we didn’t have time to exchange advice.

It’s going to be hard to top this engagement, but have you thought how involved of a groom you’ll be in the wedding planning? Will you help plan every detail? Or just sit back and wait til the bachelor party?

Somewhere in between.  I will certainly offer my two cents, but I do not think I will go through the stress and planning that this engagement entailed.  I will definitely enjoy the bachelor party, my friends are never short on surprises themselves!

Be honest, do you think your fiance was a little upset that it wasn’t Tebow popping the question?

No.  This is an honest answer.  She certainly admires and adores Tebow, but she was certain who was popping the question, not to mention, she has had 9 years to back out of this deal.  We are both thrilled that he is now going to be a part of our life above and beyond the joy he brought to us during Gator football season.

Wedding talk aside, what kind of NFL pro do you think Tebow will be?

I think this question is overhyped.  The reason being that Tim Tebow transcends sports, as evidenced by the insane reaction this engagement has gotten.  He will be successful regardless of what his NFL future holds.  However, his new release looks promising and his combine efforts were extraordinary.  Talks of New England drafting him are exciting, because a coach like Belichick can certainly help a rookie find his footing.
