Some people love going big to pop the big question, and involving a world-famous landmark truly takes the cake. This man got creative with his proposal by involving the iconic Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
A Dubai-based Indian national, who has not been named, went down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend of five years on November 4.
Using the world’s tallest structure and building as a backdrop, he projected sweet messages to his future wife.
“You gave me a whole new world”, “Can I have it forever?”, and “I can’t imagine growing old with anyone else”, read the projections.
Speaking to Gulf News, the anonymous man gushed about his partner.
“She’s a very selfless person, always putting others before herself, she gelled well with my entire family more than I ever did. She always gives her unconditional love and she’s always willing to try new things. She’s full of life. It’s cheesy, but I like who I am when I’m with her. We’ve grown together over the years, been on this roller coaster of a life filled with so many emotions, with its ups and downs, with all the perfect imperfections.”
The proposal took months to put together.
“You have no idea how stressed I am with all the arrangements – for the last two months, I’ve been deeply engaged in picking up the perfect diamond. Then I had to plan the Burj Khalifa projection – all while being super secretive about it,” he added.

Several posts on Reddit showed that proposing with a PS 5 is a new trend amongst gamers, and this is mainly the male gamers proposing to their women.
A gamer posted on Reddit: “Rolled up after midnight pickup of our PS5s and snuck this game into the pile 😉 (video in comments)”

Another user who goes by the name Zachavelli also followed the trend and snuck a ring when proposing to his fiance.
It seems as if there is an underlying romance that only gamers understand, and the popular gaming game console is the perfect way to ask your loved one to be your ‘Player 2’.

A white suit works for almost all seasons. It complements a winter wedding and adds a lighter feel to go along with a summer soiree. What’s great about a white suit is that it looks great in any style, from a classic tuxedo to an edgy double-breast.
You can opt for white from head to toe, or bring in some dimension with a coloured shirt or suit lapel. The beauty of this look is that it is easily customisable.

Not one for the club scene? That’s perfectly acceptable. With all the stress of wedding planning, a nice relaxing weekend with your best girls is a great way to calm your nerves.
Low-key brides wanting to do something a little different to the traditional bachelorette rager can opt for more serene experiences designed to soothe those frazzled nerves and get you ready for your big day. Here are a few fun activities to consider.
Spa Day:
Who doesn’t love a spa day? A fresh set of nails, a massage and a facial can do wonders, especially when you’re feeling tense from wedding planning.
You can arrange for a group spa day at a local beauty salon or wellness centre, or you could even have them come to you. Allow your guests to pick from an assortment of treatments, and throw in some delicious light snacks and infused water to complete the vibe.

Yoga:
Feeling tense? Maybe you need to work out those muscles! Yoga is a great way to ease stress and get your body moving in a low impact workout that will leave you feeling calm.
You can have a yoga instructor come to you to host a yoga class, complete with breathing exercises, and guided meditation. If you want to add a unique element, you could even try goat yoga!

Staycation:
Live the life of luxury without even leaving your city. There are so many incredibly Airbnb listings across South Africa, allowing people to book out entire villas overlooking mesmerising views.
All your guests can pool together to book a place with enough space for everyone in a central area. You can spend the weekend chilling poolside, cooking up meals with your besties, and bonding.

Wine tasting:
Wine tasting is a national sport in the Western Cape. With so many wineries to choose from, locals are truly spoilt for choice.
For a safe experience, we suggest taking a trip on the Franschhoek wine tram, a hop-on-hop-off service connecting you to six wine estates in the Franschhoek Valley.

Yacht life:
What’s more luxurious than lounging on a luxury yacht? Spend the day cruising away with 360° views and sunshine warming you up.
You don’t need a specific destination, a local cruise is perfect. Most boats are equipped with sound systems so you can DJ the day while you work on your tan, and menu and bar options are typically available as well.
