After a year and a half spent publicly professing their love for each other, Machine Gun Kelly went down on one knee and popped the question.
Megan Fox took to Instagram to share a clip of the proposal with a beautiful caption that celebrated their journey together.
“– he asked me to marry him. And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes,” she posted.

In the clip, the rapper turned actor proposed under a towering banyan tree as a shocked Fox knelt down beside him.
“In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree, we asked for magic …” she wrote.
While the proposal was simple and intimate, the engagement ring was a bit more ostentatious. The breathtaking emerald and diamond engagement ring has a deeply personal meaning as Machine Gun Kelly revealed on his Instagram.
While a traditional sparkler may have one stone that takes centre stage, this one has two and is a custom piece that features Kelly‘s birthstone (diamond) and Fox‘s (emerald).

Your wedding day is a snapshot to the rest of your life. It goes by in a flash, so capturing the amazing little moments that make the big day is important. There are some incredible photographers that go above and beyond to ensure that they capture these moments as you go about celebrating your nuptials, between getting ready, the first dance, to everything in between.
The International Photography Awards encompasses this very idea. The competition, which is sponsored by Canon Australia, received over 1 500 submissions from eager wedding photographers looking to showcase those tear-jerking moments. However, Fabio Mirulla managed to snag the grand prize and take home the title of Wedding Photographer of the Year.
The winning image shows Fabio snapping a pic of the bride and a carefully placed lamp, providing a silhouette resembling a wedding gown. Talk about crafty!
In second place was photographer duo Andrew and Bec, who managed to snap a couple in formalwear as they crossed mountain peaks.
Here are a few of the other incredible entries that made the finals:

COVID-19 has put on damper on many things, including weddings. But what happens when your soon-to-be husband gets sick and he needs to miss your big day? You…
Popping the big question can be a nerve-wracking experience for both the bride and groom-to-be, but there’s no question that it’s an unforgettable moment. Unfortunately, one woman did not get the happy ending she was hoping for as she took to Reddit to share her harrowing story.
The bride-to-be immediately said yes when her partner popped the question, and despite not having a ring, the thought of spending the rest of her life with the man of her dreams was enough. After all, there would be plenty of time to get a ring. However, things took a weird turn when the woman decided to go dress shopping.
“I have been planning my dream wedding for seven months now. When I told him that I was going dress shopping, he looked at me like I had five heads.”
If that’s not enough of a punch to the gut, the woman says that the man then said he never proposed. “He said, ‘why would I propose to a woman I am not even dating?’”
Despite having the wind knocked out of her wedding sails, the woman stated that she’d love to continue with wedding planning.
“I am thinking of tricking him into coming to our wedding and seeing what happens. I am not sure what else to do,” she said.

While a number of commenters were left shocked, one Redditor could sympathise.
“I was sitting on the couch watching a movie I wanted to see, and my girlfriend of a year was in the other room watching a show she liked because she wasn’t interested in the movie (yeah….I know, one of us should have compromised). I’m not really paying attention to what she was saying, but I hear an inaudible “would you marry me?” Being sarcastic, I responded back with, “of course I’ll marry you, baby.”
According to the poster, his then-girlfriend came running into the room, kissed him, and told him to enjoy watching his movie.
“The next day, while I’m at work, I start getting my phone blown up with phone calls and texts. She had put on Facebook that I proposed to her the night previous! We had a long conversation about the fact that we are not engaged, and to this day, I still don’t know exactly what she said from the other room that I misheard (mostly because she got mad and refused to tell me), but it’s always been a funny story,” he writes.
Despite the twists and turns that this story provides, there’s no question that we’d be left fuming if this ever happened to us.

The COVID-19 pandemic certainly threw a spanner in the works for countless couples across the globe, with many soon-to-say-I-do being forced to postpone their big day due to…
Congratulations! You’ve decided to dive into the freedom-seeking world of elopement. The dawn of COVID-19 has ensured that running away and skipping the big ceremony is no longer taboo. In fact, it’s probably encouraged. But just because you’re forgoing the endless shenanigans that come with throwing a classic wedding doesn’t mean you can’t add a little tradition to your elopement.
The beauty of having an elopement ceremony is freedom. You can literally do whatever you want! But with so many options to choose from, here are a few adorable and traditional additions you can add to your unconventional ceremony.
The Vows
While the thought of having thousands of eyeballs staring at you as you exchange your promise of love may leave your hands shaking, this is such a beautiful addition to any ceremony and is often the foundation. This is the perfect time to open your heart and share something wonderfully unique to the partner standing in front of you.
Walk down the aisle
Just because you’re choosing to break away from tradition doesn’t mean you can’t do something conventional, like taking a walk down the aisle. Grab a few flower petals or a beautiful rug, and walk down the “aisle” to your favourite tune towards the one you love.
Have a blast
There may be five people tearfully observing you say “I do,” but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a blast when the ceremony is all done and dusted. Grab a few of your closest friends and family – keeping it small, of course – and throw a little shindig that will allow you to celebrate with your squad. A few ideas may include a close friend’s cosy backyard or your favourite little restaurant.
Raise you glass
It is a celebration after all! Rope in the best man or maid of honour and get them to deliver a toast that will tuck at the heartstrings. There’s nothing more traditional than giving a big ‘ol cheers to the newlyweds with a delicious bottle of bubbly. If you’re heading to your favourite restaurant, make sure you double-check the alcohol restrictions before bringing that vintage bottle of JC Le Roux.
The First Dance
If not for the tradition, do it for the romance. Having the first dance at your elopement can be a beautiful thing made even better by having those few special people around you. Embrace technology and hit play on your favourite song before pumping the tunes on your JBL speaker.
