Blushing Brides: Summer Cheek Chic


Southern bells will soon be ringing for North Carolina native Emily Maynard. The 26-year-old single mom finally found the man of her dreams after appearing a second time on the sappy-ever-after reality TV show "The Bachelorette." During the season finale, 27-year-old Jef Holm knelt down and asked for her hand in marriage.

It's been a nonstop patella party this year with several celebs getting down on bended knee. Brad Pitt, Olivier Martinez and Liam Hemsworth put on ring on it with partners Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and Miley Cyrus. Plus, Drew Barrymore and Alec Baldwin recently sealed the deal when they respectively exchanged "I dos" with Will Kopelman and Hilaria Thomas.

In addition, check out the celebs who have the most potential to walk down the aisle this summer. Which ones will make it to their golden anniversary?
