After the romantic wedding, comes the romantic honeymoon. Whether you’re jet-setting overseas for an island getaway or heading up the coast of your homeland, there are bound to be endless options of exciting things to do together.
Here are a few ideas for honeymoon inspiration.
1. Scuba diving
Exploring on foot is one thing but getting to know the underwater world is unlike any other experience. With a team of trained professionals, you and your partner can dive deep and explore the oceanic wonders. It really is a world of its own. It’s also the perfect opportunity to snap some unique pics together.
2. Hiking
If you’re on a beach honeymoon, then there’s bound to be a viewpoint of sorts. If you and your partner are quite active, you will enjoy spending some time in the great outdoors. It’s a chance to get in touch with nature and appreciate the beauty of the natural world. Think of those breath-taking scenes that will paint the perfect backdrop for your honeymoon photos.
3. Get to know the locals
Exploring the local town you are staying in, is best done on foot. It gives you the chance to interact and talk to the locals, to find out inside information on hidden gems, like restaurants or things to see in the town. It also gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the the culture. This helps you to gain a whole new perspective on a place you were once unfamiliar with.
4. Appreciate the beauty
If walking, hiking and diving aren’t for the newly wed couple, you can simply just appreciate the beauty. Spend your days on the balcony, on the beach under a palm tree or on a guided tour of your destination. Make sure you enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. Take a stroll by the ocean and venture out for romantic candle lit dinners. This is your honeymoon after all.
5. Sky diving or parasailing
If you’re looking for an extreme honeymoon be sure to check out sky diving. Enjoy the adrenaline rush while you and your partner embark on this adventure. If sky diving is a bit too extreme, opt for parasailing behind a boat. Both get you sky high and are a thrill-seeker’s dream come true.
6. Dancing
Where there is people, there is dancing. Even if you have two left feet dancing can be so much fun. Ask aorund for local dancing spots near where you’re staying and head out. It’s romantic and exhilarating. Enjoy the wiggle and laugh.
7. Spa day
While a couples spa day is appropriate on any honeymoon, take some time to spoil yourselves wherever you choose to go. Indulge in a hot rock massage, relaxing in a steam room or soothing facial. Some spa’s even have couple packages so you and your partner don’t have to loose any time together.

Proposing is a special and memorable event, but it doesn’t have to be over the top to make an impact. Here are some unique and simple ways to…
Traditionally, it has always been that the man proposes to the woman. But in this day and age where gender roles are changing and same-sex relationships are legal and accepted, more and more women are bending the knee.
Just do it
Whether you’re a woman in a same-sex relationship or a straight relationship, you should disregard what is traditionally accepted and be able to propose to your partner. If you feel the time is right and that you and your partner are in a place to get married, there is no need to wait for them to propose; you can ask them to marry you.
The moment
The proposal should go the same as any traditional proposal in the sense that you plan the proposal. Look at creating a special moment that will become a beautiful memory in your relationship.
A symbol of love
If you are a woman proposing to a woman, then it is likely that you will present an engagement ring. If you’re a woman proposing to a man, you should consider presenting some sort of gift that they can keep forever and has sentiment to it. A great proposal gift for a man is a watch, and a great addition to that would be to get it engraved.
Despite the fact that a woman proposing is not the norm, it certainly should be. With the dismantling of gender roles, leaving proposals solely up to men should be dismantled too.
At the end of the day, it is a decision to get married and it should not matter who asked whom.

American socialite Amanda Hearst and Norwegian film director Joachim Rønning had a four day nuptial celebration. The wedding ceremony took place on August 2, 2019. The romantic love…
Leona and her longterm boyfriend Dennis married on July 27 in Tuscany. The wedding was held at Sting’s Italian residence Villa Il Palagio. The happy couple shared their beautiful nuptials with 180 loved ones which included Keisha Buchanan and Jermain Jackman.
They explained that they chose Sting’s residence because of the homely feel. Villa Il Palagio is a 16th century style estate and has been owned by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler since 1997. It features 865 acres, a giant chessboard, outdoor pool, olive and orange trees and cypress-lined driveway. The reception was held in Sting’s recording studio.
Leona had three outfits for her big day. For the ceremony she wore a sheer full-length white dress that was designed by Israeli designer Mira Zwillinger. The stunning gown featured a lace bodice with floral embroidery and mesh detail. Her dinner outfit included a pink embellished tulle gown. Finally she wore a crystal jumpsuit to party the night away.
Leona and Dennis had a vegan menu along with a wedding cake. The cake was made by Sicilian dessert stylist and pastry chef Marco Failla. He created a tiered millefeuille cake that was finished with fresh berries, flowers and 24k gold leaf. The millefeuille also included Sicilian caramelized almonds and salted dark chocolate cream.
The love birds met in 2010 on Leona’s Labyrinth tour where Dennis Jauch was a backup dancer.

When dating someone it’s normal to imagine a future with your partner and marriage may cross your mind. One of the biggest questions is “How long do you…
Your nails may seem insignificant compared to your wedding dress but they still need to stand out. Your hands will be on show, from guests wanting to have a look at the shiny new rock to the photographer capturing different angles of it.
Nail designs have come along way in the last few years. From single to multi-colours, various finishes and nail art, some brides opt for the classic French tip look but you don’t have to stick to the norm.
Simple with a twist
If you want to maintain a simple look, what about a neutral colour with a touch of nail art? It still looks elegant but includes a fun element.
Don’t be scared of length
Long claw-like nails are in and look great. If you’re unsure on what shape to get, ask your nail technician to shape the nails according to your hands.
Glitter for days
Looking for more of a sparkle for your wedding claws. You can get glitter on one nail or a few, a strip of shine or go for a glitter ombre technique.
Have fun with finishings
If you’re not one to experiment with colour, how about changing the finishings. Try a matte, metallic, sheer, textured or pearl finish. Make sure to ask your nail salon what they offer because a lot of the time it’s not on display.
Artsy nails
Wanting to showcase the creative side? Add some nail art or pattern on your nuptial nails.
Special tips
How about plain nails with a funky tip. Opt for various patterns, colours or (don’t forget the) finishes.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match, there is really no reason to play by the rules.
