Love stories abound at BYU, and in this Valentine’s Day special of the Y Magazine podcast, host Whitney Singley Archibald (BA ’01) talks to three BYU alumni couples about their proposal stories.

High school sweethearts Stephanie Smith Eliason (BA ’91, MA ’95) and Eric Eliason (BA ’92) tell their story of flat tires and reconnection, Matthew Scott (BM ’06) and Heather Brown Scott (BA ’06) recount a chance encounter at the BYU Creamery and a showstopping proposal during a concert, and Kim Thornock (BA ’91) and Kareen Hursman Thornock (BA ’92) talk about their dancing dates.

This episode was based on the article “Popping the Question” from the Summer 2021 issue of Y Magazine.

If you liked this episode, you might enjoy another episode with alumni stories, “True Blue Friendship,” about friendships forged at BYU, and one about alumni service: “Going Forth—It’s What We Do: How BYU Grads are Making a Difference.”
