Buying an engagement ring is an investment, so it’s important to make sure you’ve done everything through the right channels and are getting what you paid for. Unfortunately,…
Much like marriage, tattoos are serious and (mostly) permanent. While it’s often considered a big no-no to mark your body with your lover’s name, this can also be a sweet and romantic act for many.
There are many reasons why couples may choose to forego wearing their rings. Maybe you have a physical job that requires you to wear no jewellery, or you’re just not the diamond type. Whatever the reason, your finger does not have to be bare. Fill that space with a tattoo designed just for your and your partner.
Wedding ring tattoos are super popular, with celebrities like Jay-Z and Beyonce even rocking this trend. You can go simple with a a classic line tattoo or add some personality and choose an icon that is close to you and your partner’s heart. For example, you could opt for crowns to symbolise your fairytale love, or get your partner’s initials.
Here are some tattoos we think are pretty sweet:

This will be Farley’s second walk down the aisle. She was previously married to Roger Mathews, with whom they share daughter Meilani (6) and son Greyson (4). Funnily enough, Carpinello actually attended Farley’s first wedding as he was a longtime friend of the now ex-couple.

It’s most likely that we all went through a little phase where we neglected our hair this past summer. Read on to find out how you can undo…
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down for a highly anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey and revealed more than a few bombshells about their relationship and the Royal Family. Among the shockers, they dropped that they secretly tied the knot before they walked down the aisle in front of the world.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex admitted to Oprah that they said I do’ to one another in private three days before their televised wedding on May 19, 2018. It was just the two of them and the Archbishop of Canterbury present for the secret nuptials.
Oprah had asked Meghan what she was excited about in their new life after they officially left the Royal family, and the Duchess replied, “Just being able to live authentically… it’s so basic but it’s really fulfilling.”
She continued, “I was thinking about it, you know our wedding—three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that. We called the Archbishop and we just said, look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world. But we want our union between us, so the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”
South Africans wanting to watch the bombshell interview can tune in to MNet at 7.30pm on Monday night.
