Marci von Savoye Williams graduated from BYU in 1999 with a degree in Journalism.
In the Winter 2009 issue of BYU Magazine, von Savoye Williams shared one of her memories from her time at BYU. She said,
When my husband, then boyfriend, showed up to his brother’s wedding, his entire family kept pestering him about the big, ugly gash at the end of his nose. But the story behind his nose was not something he was ready to share.
The day before the wedding we were on one of our first dates. It was Christmastime, and above each elevator door at S Hall in Deseret Towers hung mistletoe. When our date was over, he walked me to the elevator of my dorm. Standing in the elevator, I pointed up at the mistletoe and smiled coyly, but he didn’t take my bait. Not one to give up easily, I leaned through the doorway and planted a kiss right on his lips. Perhaps he was surprised by my forwardness, or maybe he was just hanging on to the moment; either way, he lingered a bit too long, and the doors closed right on his nose. He had to place a hand on each door to push his nose free. Fortunately, subsequent kisses were not so hazardous, though I don’t think we’ve kissed under mistletoe since.
