ALEX BOYE is the greatest! HE IS SO DANG FUN to be around and BrideAccess has loved working with him and having him host many of our Television Shows. I thought it would be fun to show one of my favorite videos of him.
This video is from a benefit concert for a sweet friend of ours who lost her husband and ALEX BOYE was nice enough to come and entertain us!

The last post was so popular with proposals that I decided to put on a few more, and they are just as great!!
This proposal is at a Peter Breinholt Concert!
I'm pretty sure Peter Breinholt is her hero, well next to her husband of course!!
Two proposals done in one night at a Twilight Movie Premier...
I love how both couples are so crazy about each other!
Ahh, proposal and winning the Ultimate Utah Wedding-- Can you say the best day of her life!!
CONGRATULATIONS TRINA!
Ya he was right , she cried! And he made me cry! Amazing story.
Last, but certainly not least, is the former Utah Governor and Presidential Candidate Jon Huntsman and his wife, Mary Kaye Huntsman telling their proposal story. I love how real they are. These are two people very much in the public eye, completely professional, and freely show that pure love and committment to each other. Mary Kaye came to my children's school and I went to hear her talk and was so impressed with her and the story she was there to tell the kids. She talked about making people feel good about themselves and being a true friend. It has always stuck with me and I'm sure the kids were touched as well. I'm not overly political, but what I like about this couple is they show the human side, they are easy to get to know and feel just like everyone else! See for yourself...
I have two favorite quotes from Jon Huntsman on this video, "Nothing will be a greater happiness in life than the commitment you make in marriage" and "I repect her opinion more than anyone else I know!" They are a team!
Their respect, trust and commitment to each other is so sweet. You can tell they really care about each other and just like all of us have personal things to deal with and want the best for each other and pull each other up. Now here are some great role models!
