Michael also posted on Instagram a tribute to Catherine as he shared a heartwarming audio clip of how they first met. ‘Happy 20th Anniversary my darling! I love you always and forever @catherinezetajones ❤️ (Volume ⬆️) #20years.’

On the voice clip, Michael said: “I’m watching this movie and then I say: ‘Wow, who is this girl, she’s incredible!'” A month later, he was at the Deauville Film Festival in France in August 1998, when he realised the cast of The Mask Of Zorro would be attending.

He asked his assistant to find out if Catherine would be attending, if she was alone and if she would like to have a drink with him.

After being engaged for nearly a year, they tied the knot at the Plaza Hotel in New York on November 18, 2000.

Since then, Michael and Catherine have two children together – son Dylan 20, and daughter Carys, 17.

Royal rings: Kate Middleton’s sapphire sparkler

November 11, 2020 No Comments

Kate Middleton became the world’s envy on November 16, 2010 when Clarence House announced that she and Prince William were engaged to be wed. Besides the obvious excitement of a royal wedding, fans could not get over her unique sapphire engagement ring that carries a sweet story.

The world’s most famous blue sapphire ring once belonged to Prince William’s mother, Princess Diana. Here are some facts about this deeply personal ring.

A post shared by The Royal Ladies (@theroyalladies__) on Jan 8, 2019 at 1:58pm PST

Prince Charles first proposed to Princess Diana with a selection of rings from crown jeweller Garrard, and she chose the blue sapphire. At the time, it caused a scandal and many called her decision to go with a ready-made ring ‘common’.

Upon Charles and Diana’s divorce, she returned the ring to her ex-husband and it remained in storage in Kensington Palace. After her untimely passing in 1997, however, sons William and Harry were allowed to choose mementoes to remember her by. Harry chose the engagement ring while William picked a gold Cartier watch.

When William was really to propose, the brothers agreed to exchange mementoes so that he could do so with their mother’s ring. He chose this ring to be symbolic of his mother being a part of her wedding and marriage in general.

The ring consists of a 12-carat oval blue sapphire cut into facets, which is surrounded by fourteen solitaire diamonds. The setting is crafted from 18K white gold.

Immediately after their engagement announcement, sapphire engagement rings sales went through the roof and jewellers rushed to supply customers with this trendy item.

Her wedding band was fashioned from a piece of Welsh gold that was given to Prince William by The Queen shortly after the engagement was announced.

Jy loop oor van dankbaarheid, sagtheid & deernis vir ander. Jou Kinderlike opgewondenheid & soeke na Net die Here se wil inspireer my! Dit is maklik om jou vrou te wees, onder jou te submit & jou te eer & ondersteun as priester in ons huis, wat ons op koers hou na ons roeping met outoriteit & Godelike wysheid. . Elke dag is n avontuur wat ons saam kan aanpak & waar ons ‘n onuitputbare lewenslus in mekaar kan aanwakker!

The pair have always given us reason to believe in fairy tales. They met back in 2008 at University and Adriaan instantly knew that Melinda was the girl for him.

He told YOU magazine that when he saw her, he told his friend that she would be his girl. He kept to his words and married her in 2014.

Adriaan posted on his Instagram and said “Life is a song, provided you have the right partner. About 3,155,760 minutes ago I married my dream wife, Princess @melindabam. Today I can honestly say, our marriage is my very greatest blessing. It’s special to be able to say, my Wife is my best friend”

Die lewe is n lied, mits jy die regte lewensmaat het. Ongveer 3,155,760 minute gelede het ek met my droom vrou, Prinses @melindabam getrou. Vandag kan ek opreg se, ons huwelik is my heel grootste seening. Dit is spesiaal om te kan se, my Vrou is my beste maat. Ses jaar later kan ek terug kyk en sien hoe ons saam gegroei het en positiewe verskille in mekaar se lewens gemaak het en steeds doen. Prinses, ek is so lief en trots op jou! Dankie dat jy my wildste verwagtinge van wat dit is om gelukkig getroud te wees, oortref het. Ek dank die Here vir ons beste jare wat nog voorle. #marriedlife #happilyeverafter #kingdomliving

The Bachelorette’s Clare Crawley is engaged to Dale Moss

November 9, 2020 No Comments

‘The Bachelorette’ star Clare Crawley is engaged to Dale Moss. The pair got married a few months ago but have kept it away from the public until Thursday, November 5.

On this week’s drama-filled show, the viewers witnessed Clare become engaged to Dale, just four episodes into the series, and Tayshia Adams being brought in to replace her.

It’s official!! Love wins!!!! ?❤️!!! I love you @dalemoss13 !!!!

A post shared by Clare Crawley (@clarecrawley) on Nov 5, 2020 at 7:01pm PST

Clare said that it was love at first sight for her, she knew that Dale was her future husband “the moment he walked into the show.”

“After the first night, and I even said it the first time I knew it was special, but after we had our first group date, in my mind and in my heart, everything was already written,” Dale said in an interview with, Good morning America.

With just four episodes in, Clare had already made up her mind on who she was going to pick and for her entertaining other possible suitors was a complete waste of time. This led to her receiving backlash on social media for being unfair to others and the viewers.

Dineo met Solo eight years ago through a mutual friend, Leroy. He had set them up to a blind date anaware to them, but luckily it was love at first sight. Solo asked for her phone number and texted her on the same day. They later went out for dinner that very same day and have been together since.

On their Showmax wedding series, Kwakuhle kwethu, Dineo admitted to having a huge crush on him and could not wait longer than five minutes to text him back.

Solo took to social media to explain how he proposed to Dineo. They were on a holiday in Mozambique in January 2019 and he has already planned to propose. He explained how a person might think it would be easy to propose to their best friend, but it was nerve-wracking for him.

The couple tied the knot on May 11, 2019 at the Kitchen L’antico Giardiono in Johannesburg.

Victoria’s Secret model Jasmine Tookes is engaged

September 25, 2020 No Comments

Model Jasmine Tookes and director of international markets at Snapchat Juan David Borrero are engaged! The couple, who have been together for four years, took their relationship to the next level on September 21.

Borrero took Tookes on a surprise trip to pop the question.

“It was a complete surprise!” Tookes told Vogue. “I woke up at 9:00 a.m. to go about my regular day of meetings with JOJA [the health and fitness Instagram account she shares with fellow model Josephine Skriver]. After the meeting, he came downstairs to tell me to pack my bags for a surprise trip that we were leaving for in two hours.”

In the car, Borrero blindfolded Tookes and took her to the place they first met, Rose Cafe in Venice, California. Next up, they headed to the airport to board a plane to Page, Arizona.

“He knows me so well that he had Popeye’s catered—I was in heaven!—so we ate chicken tenders and drank champagne until we landed in Page, Arizona. Then we hopped on a helicopter which flew us to the most beautiful, otherworldly-like secluded place in the middle of the desert rocks in Utah. It was just us.”

A table decked out with champagne and a charcuterie board awaited the couple, which they feasted on before Borrero lead Tookes to a lookout point.

“Shortly after that, he escorted me to a lookout above where we were sitting and on the ground was a bunch of rocks which spelled out WYMM? At first glance, I didn’t know what this meant, but it immediately dawned on me that it meant ‘Will you marry me?’”

A drone flying overhead delivered the ring in a black pouch. Of course, she said yes!

“I was in complete disbelief and immediately burst into tears because this was something I did not expect. After lots of happy tears, I obviously said yes, and this was honestly the best day I could’ve ever imagined. We are very excited and looking forward to a future filled with lots of love and happiness.”
