A pair of Buffalo Bills quarterbacks earned a ring this weekend.
Backup signal-callers Jake Fromm and Mitch Trubisky both tied the knot to their longtime girlfriends over the long Fourth of July weekend, taking to social media to share some images of their big days. The festivities give the pair a few weeks off before heading to training camp and starting their quest for another ring — this one of the Super Bowl variety.

Fromm, Trubisky Enjoy Their Big Days
As USA Today’s Bills Wire noted, the backups to Josh Allen happened to pick the same weekend to get hitched. The 26-year-old Trubisky tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Hillary Gallagher on Saturday, sharing some pictures from the ceremony on Instagram.
“Love you forever Mrs. Trubisky 💙 @hill_trubisky,” the former Chicago Bears starter wrote. “Incredible weekend with family and friends. So grateful to everyone who came to celebrate with Hillary and I!”
The ceremony caught some national attention, with the New York Post’s Page Six reporting on their nuptials and pointing out that Gallagher, a private Pilates instructor, was wearing an engagement ring worth an estimated six figures.
Fromm didn’t attract quite as much attention when he and longtime girlfriend Caroline Ostman walked the aisle over the weekend. As the couple’s wedding entry on TheKnot.com noted, the two met in the spring of 2017 when Jake came to the University of Georgia campus early to join the football team and Ostman was a member of the school’s volleyball team. Their roommates at the time were dating and later got married as well, with Fromm and Ostman serving in their wedding party.
The entry also shared some details of Fromm’s proposal, noting that he took her to dinner at her favorite restaurant and then back to a scenic property where the couple would go to watch deer.
“Jake walked Caroline to the cross that he and one of his best friends built earlier that day and got down on one knee,” the site noted. “Jake had both of the families and a photographer hiding in the bushes. After the proposal, Jake had coordinated an after party with their close friends and family and everyone was there for the sweetest celebration.”
It’s not clear whether teammates of the two quarterbacks may have attended their ceremonies — or if they even had time to make it to both. Fromm was married in Atlanta on Friday, while Trubisky tied the knot in Cleveland in the afternoon on Saturday.
Big Year Ahead
With their big days now past, both Trubisky and Fromm prepare to step into important roles for the Bills in 2021. Buffalo snagged Trubisky in free agency, reportedly convincing him to take a smaller contract that other teams could offer for the chance to play behind Allen and develop under the same coaches who helped Allen make an almost unprecedented leap between his second and third seasons.
Fromm is looking to join the team in full for the first time after serving as the “quarantine quarterback” for 2020. The fifth-round draft pick stayed away from the team, practicing and working out mostly on his own in case a COVID-19 outbreak were to take out both Allen and his primary backup, Matt Barkley. With the NFL canceling the preseason last year, Fromm never got a chance to see the field and is looking to snag a more important role in 2021.
