Odell Beckham Jr. proposed to a Kicking Net on Sunday. I’m sure it said yes, given he had 8 catches, 222 yards and 2 touchdowns in a victory over the Ravens.

It was a relatively short courtship, an infatuation that started two weeks ago with a domestic violence incident in a 24-10 loss to the Vikings.

After the rocky start, Odell is catching more passes and having more fun, becoming quite the smitten kitten recently. He teased his twine with a hug and kiss in Green Bay two weeks ago before tying the knot(s) with his dearest Net last Sunday back home in New York (OBJ only knows one speed, fast).

So what’s next for Odell and the Kicking Net’s relationship? Everyone is so focused on Odell’s over-the-top celebrations and accompanying penalties, but what about his love?

“Our relationship is growing. I thought we might as well make it serious. I proposed and she said yes. Me and the net are going to get married sometime soon. Hopefully it all works out. I’m 23, so I don’t know much about marriage. She seems like a pretty nice gal.” -Odell

Since Odell doesn’t know much about marriage, I asked Jake Stern, a married man of over two years, a BFF of mine and a New York Giants fan a few questions on what Odell and his Net should expect next.

Now that Odell and the net are engaged, what’s the key for successful wedding planning?

1.5 – 3 drinks (the .5 option reinforces sharing.) Have fun with it; don’t take yourselves too seriously. That said, set some boundaries (or hashmarks) regarding expenses. You might have to play some team defense on certain things, otherwise that score can run up quickly. Don’t out-kick your coverage and spend money on silly things like flip flops with your likenesses’ emblazoned on them.

Any advice for the actual wedding day/night?

• Day: Stay loose, don’t tense up and pull something. Forget feeling performance anxiety, this is your (you and your net’s) day; own that spotlight, son.
• Night: Leave it all out on the field. You should have 0 left in the tank by 4 AM yet you should feel like a million bucks. Your entire team will have come together, do not bail on them early. They will likely never assemble again for you like this. If you fall asleep in the cab when you leave the after-party, for instance… zero shame, and well played.

What’s something you were pleasantly surprised about marriage? 

Team chemistry improves, even when you figure not much would change.

What challenges lie ahead for Odell and the net?

Keep your eyes on the prize: meeting and beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl (it feels about time again) all the while checking in with each other periodically after both big plays and 3-and-outs.

Any general tips for Odell on being married? 

Don’t try to make the net something it’s not. The Net is unique and special and you just need to let the Net do its thing and love it for it. Kay?

Keep the net on its feet. Please don’t overplay your anniversary, but do take the Net out for a romantic dinner when it is least expecting it. Most importantly, make sure the net knows you love it. Words and actions, OBJ.

Well, there you have it. I hope you took that to heart, Odell. You have a long way to go, but I love how you professed your love so openly. Isn’t that what people head over heels in love do? Say they want to profess their love from a mountain top? OBJ did that unabashedly. Props.

Naturally, there will be some ups and downs. I hope you and the Kicking Net’s Dad get closer (the net behind the goal posts). I didn’t see you ask him for permission before proposing. And please don’t get jealous the Net is spending so much time with Josh Brown (Giants kicker).

Take it one game at a time. You have wedding seating charts and dinner menu’s to plan (Wilson leather for the Net’s relatives and Les Miles, surf and turf for everyone else) and the magical wedding day, wedding night and honeymoon to enjoy. Hopefully you keep scoring touchdowns, because everyone is excited to watch you slow dance, make love and rub sun screen on the Net’s shoulders (keep your last two initials to private time).

Love is patient. Love is kind. Congrats, OBJ. Remember Jake’s wise words. And let love be the wind beneath your wings.
