• 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.

    When the PlayStation 5 arrived and was made available for purchase, a lot of gamers were prepared to do almost anything to get their hands on the Japan-based technology game. The game goes at a retail price of  R11 999 in South Africa.

    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’.

    Grooms want to go bold on their big day should opt for a white suit. Crisp, classic, and cool, this look is enduringly stylish.

    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.

    Here are some dapper grooms doing it big:

    Across the world, countries are enforcing social distancing rules and regulations to protect citizens amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In Queensland, one of their rules for social distancing is currently specifying that you can have a public or private gathering of up to 40 people.

    According to a Snapchat story that is now circulating online, two friends came up with an idea to abide by the rules and still party, and it appears that they legally tied the knot so that they could party with 100 of their friends.

    Two pictures from the big day were posted on Brown Cardigan’s Facebook page, showing one attendee of the wedding who couldn’t believe they were actually witnessing a legal wedding.

    The two men held hands during the ceremony as a the officiant conducted the ceremony. What happened before and after this image remains a mystery.
