The Utah gay couple behind a
heartwarming marriage proposal in a Home Depot lumber aisle met Betty
Who on Thursday.
Betty Who performed Somebody Loves
You, the song used to help Spencer Stout propose to Dustin Reese,
on VH1's Big Morning Buzz.

Stout explained how he decided on the
track.
“So I was listening to Spotify on my
way home from work one day,” Stout
said. “It was a really catchy tune and I thought it was great
because I had never heard it before. And then I put it on my
favorites and then I listened to it over and over again. I was just
like, 'This song rocks! I love it. It's great.' And then the
lyrics just kinda … resonated and get to that minimum where I was
like, 'I think I'm ready to put a ring on his finger.'”
Betty Who said that she wept openly
when she first saw the video of the marriage proposal.
“I was totally a wreck, and so
emotional. It was totally amazing,” she said.
Stout and Reese watched the performance
from backstage and afterward gave Betty Who a hug. (Video of Betty
Who's performance is embedded on this page. Visit
