Good News Fridays: On-Air Wedding Proposal

By Nathan Young on March 22, 2013

This certainly qualifies as a good news post! News anchor Jillian Pavlica out of FOX 54 WZDX in Huntsville got a big surprise when she read a breaking news story on air, only to realize that she was being proposed to. Here’s the video!

Fox 54 producer Dana Conley told her before the segment that there was breaking news, then fed the proposal into the teleprompter and told her to just read what appeared. The breaking news script read, “We’ve got breaking news to share with you tonight. Fox 54 has just learned that a Huntsville news anchor is being proposed to on live TV right now!

Vince then walked up to Pavlica, got down on one knee and popped the question. Pavlica said yes! Then it was back to work as the weatherman shared the week’s forecast. The entire news team was in on the surprise as Pavlica had no clue this was going to happen. So from Geek Alabama, congrats to Pavlica and Vince! Here is a CNN story about the proposal from Jeanne Moos.
