Some might devise an elaborate plan to pop the big question, but this man proved that you shouldn’t be chicken to do a humble proposal. His decision to propose in a local fast food restaurant has turned into a social media storm as people across the country come together to give them a wedding beyond their wildest dreams.
A video of a man proposing in a Vaal KFC outlet was posted to Twitter yesterday afternoon, and quickly caught the attention of social media users. Fast food giant KFC South Africa saw the video of the couple becoming engaged and posted it to their official Twitter. In their tweet, KFC SA appealed to their followers to help identify the couple in the hopes of doing something special for them.

The couple has since been identified and two Twitter users are meeting with them today to discuss wedding planning. The grooms name is Mr. Kansi, and his financial situation is tough at the moment so he would like to have a small wedding to celebrate their nuptials.
I just spoke to Mr Kansi re his #KFCProposal. He’d like to have a small event to celebrate his wife but budget is tight. We need a venue, dress, suit, cake, and food. I can’t wait to MC this one.
Can anyone else help us, please ?

Getting engaged is a big deal. We get it. When your loved one pops the question, or says yes, all you want to do is shout it out…
This unique couple is blazing a new path with their personalised wedding photoshoot. Right after these best buds married, they posed for a photoshoot while smoking a bong.

Marijuana is legal in California, where bride and groom Coral and Mio live. As cannabis activists, Coral and Mio knew it had to feature in their big day. At their October wedding in Santa Cruz, California, the bridal couple decided to ditch the traditional wedding photoshoot in favour of sparking up a bong and blowing the smoke at the camera. The resulting images were pretty dope.
Their bongs were custom designed to read ‘Mr’ and ‘Mrs’. Corals bouquet also featured hemp in it.

Photographer Rachel Artime was on hand to capture this moment. About the images, Rachel told Metro UK, “I’m really happy with the pictures. I love the smoke. It makes them look haunting and romantic in a weird way.”
“I’ve never had to photograph anything like this before. This is the most unconventional and non-traditional thing to happen at a wedding,” she continues. “Every wedding I’ve done is the most normal thing ever, so this is quite the experience to be photographing people literally smoking a blunt at their wedding. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before.”

Social trends are moving towards sustainability, therefore directly impacting the way we think about the environment around us. These trends have become more apparent as we are consciously…
Accessories make the look. A simple touch can take your outfit from drab to fab. Typically, men’s wedding suits are quite basic so the key in personalising the look comes with accessories. Bowties, boutonnieres and cufflinks are small ways to make a big difference. However, you don’t want to be basic. As a stylish man, your outfit should reflect that. Take some risks with these unique bowties.

Many brides throughout the ages have adorned themselves with hair pieces. You can sport a hair piece whether you wear a veil or not. From tiaras to hats…
