If you’ve ever felt like your love would light up the city, it looks like you’re not alone. A Seattle man made this literal by incorporating the lights of a hotel into his surprise proposal.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in closed doors for most businesses, especially those in the travel and hospitality industries. The Hyatt Regency Seattle is one of those businesses. They have been closed for operations for a while. Every night, however, they light up their windows in the shape of a heart – supposedly to life the spirits of all the people stuck in lockdown.
Mitesh and Apoorva are able to see the light show from their apartment. Since Mitesh was planning to propose, he thought he should use the lights on the hotel in his favour.
According to Fox 56, Mitesh approached the Hyatt to ask for their assistance, and they happily obliged.
“Hence, we can see the beautiful heart sign that the hotel shows with the use of lights in individual rooms,” Mitesh said. “It would probably be the best proposal that I could ever hope for!”
The Hyatt adjusted their lights to read “I (heart) you”, with Apoorva’s initials (AP) in the heart. How sweet!
Of course, she said yes!
Congrats to Mitesh and Apoorva!

Royal weddings are all about who is who and what they are wearing. While the bride is the main event, royal wedding guests are also judged for the beautiful, tailored outfits (and hats!) they show off on the day.
Here are some of the best dressed royal wedding guests throughout history.
Meghan Markle
The newest entry into the British royal family Megan has fit right in among the royals and their incredible, sophisticated fashion. One of her best looks was shown off when she attended the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. In a nod to her own wedding, the outfit was designed by her wedding dress designer, Givenchy.
Kitty Spencer
Diana was known for her beauty and it seems it runs in the family. Kitty Spencer, her niece, wore a beautiful emerald green dress with flowers a painted long the front from Dolce and Gabbana to Meghan and Harry’s wedding . Simply elegant.
Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton has been praised for her sophisticated style and this is never more on show than at the royal weddings. For Princess Eugenie’s royal nuptials she, like Meghan, also wore a dress from her wedding dress designer- Alexander McQueen. The pink outfit and matching fascinator were fun but not too eccentric.
Priyanka Chopra
Looking like she was about to board the Titanic, Priyanka Chopra was a showstopper at Meghan and Harry’s wedding. With the custom lavender suit from Vivienne Westwood to the Philip Treacy hat, she caught many cameras attention.
Cara Delevingne
Never one to go with tradition, Cara Delevingne shocked some and delighted others with her fitted tuxedo ensemble at Princess Eugenie’s wedding. Quite out of the ordinary, but Delevingne owned it as only she could.
Amal Clooney
Amal Clooney has always turned high class looks. Her a honey yellow midi dress with side drape detail in silk by Stella McCartney and head dress by Stephen Jones made her among the bold and brightest at Meghan and Harry’s wedding.
Nancy Regan
Heads of state and their spouses are often invited to royal weddings, especially one of the biggest of all time, that of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s. Her simple outfit may not turn heads but it’s timeless and occasion appropriate.
David Beckham
It is not often men make as much of a splash as David Beckham did at Harry and Meghan’s wedding. The ray Dior Homme custom-made morning suit fit perfectly and had Beckham stealing the spotlight from his wife.
Beatrice Borromeo
Bucking the tradition and going with a tailored pantsuit was an inspired look by Beatrice as she attended Prince Felix Of Luxembourg and Claire Lademacher’s wedding. She could have stopped there but instead decided to really bowl everyone over by topping it with the perfect, unique headpiece.
Known recently for her controversial outfits on the court, Serena Williams looked royal perfection in the pink Versace dress and matching pink heels as she arrived at Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
Princess Diana
Diana was nothing if not a fashion icon and always stood out. Her polka dot ensemble to the wedding of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew was quintessentially 80s but proves that she was a fashion icon unafraid of taking risks.
Karl Lagerfeld
He is a fashion designer so this isn’t a huge surprise. He amped up the standard male suit ensemble when we attended Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene’s weddings by adding studded gloves and a brooch to give the formal suit a more fashionable feel.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Queen Rania is one of the most beautiful royals in the world and she dresses accordingly. This white blouse tucked into a lavender skirt combination she wore to Crown Prince Felipe Of Spain and Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano’s wedding is typical 2000s dynamic sophistication.

“One time I saw you at barneys and you bought a Celine bag so you wouldn’t feel guilty about asking to use the bathroom,” a fan tweeted. “I knew I loved you before but that solidified it.”
“Wowowowow anyone that knows me knows this is very true all too often,” Chrissy responded.
The model later shared a message her friend had sent her, proving that this is a habit of the stars.
“THOSE WENT TO GREAT HOMES,” Teigen responded.
Her followers were left polarised by this admission. Some fans argued that her actions were indicative of wealth and privilege, while others defended her right to spend her money how she likes.
