They're Gittin' Hitched!

As the Paducah Sun's entertainment reporter, Adam Shull spends his days asking a lot of questions. But on Sunday around 1 p.m., at the top of the St. Louis Arch, he asked the most important question of his life. Yep, Adam got down on one knee and proposed to Sun sports reporter Dusty Luthy. Look closely and you'll see the teary twinkle of happiness — she did, of course, say yes! You can also see a very beautiful engagement ring on MzLuthy's left hand! "I cried and cried, even though I knew it was coming," says Dusty. "My family already knew, since he had called and asked my dad and mom's permission the night before!" An Appalachian State graduate, Adam, 24, is from Hickory, NC, and Mizzou graduate Dusty, a wee 23, is from Lebanon, Mo. They met last year as newcomers to the Sun staff. Adam chose the Arch for his big ask because the two had visited it as friends before they got all loved up. Cute, cute, cute, no doubt about it! Look for a summer 2009 wedding right here in the Paducah area. Congratulations!
