The pair have been together since 2018, and recently celebrated their two-year anniversary on June 29.
“2 years of getting to know you, traveling, laughing. 2 years of growth, learning about each other, ourselves, our love and 2 years of creating our little family. Can’t wait for all the days, months, years to come. ?✨ Happy anniversary mi amor,” Ushkowitz wrote on Instagram.

The engagement comes after much heartbreak for the Glee cast, who tragically lost co-star Naya Rivera in July.
When news of Rivera’s death broke, a devastated Ushkowitz wrote a meaningful message to her late friend.
“There are no words and yet so many things I want to say, I don’t believe I’ll ever be able to articulate exactly what I feel but… Naya, you were a ⚡️ force and everyone who got to be around you knew it and felt the light and joy you exuded when you walked into a room. You shined on stage and screen and radiated with love behind closed doors,” she wrote.
“I was lucky enough to share so many laughs, martinis and secrets with you. I can not believe I took for granted that you’d always be here. Our friendship went in waves as life happens and we grow, so I will not look back and regret but know I love you and promise to help the legacy of your talent, humor, light and loyalty live on.
“You are so loved. You deserved the world and we will make sure Josey and your family feel that everyday. I miss you already.”

Fans of anime, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and any other massively followed franchises are often quite enthusiastic. At times, they find ways to incorporate their love for these stories into their lives.
A tribute or two can be made at a wedding without it being an all-out theme. However, if you’d you like to make your day all about your (second) most loved passion, then maybe a cosplay wedding is for you.
You could make it for the entire day, or just for the photoshoot portion of your day if you’d like.
How ever you decide to incorporate your love for the story into you wedding day, we’re sure it’ll be fantastic! Here are some ideas to inspire you:

South Africa is home to some incredibly talented organisations whose aim it is to give couples the absolute best day of their lives. We’ve rounded up some of…
A wedding is often considered the ultimate show of unity, between a couple. Two people are taking the biggest step that they can, to show that they are committed to living a life together, no matter what comes their way.
Some might say that a wedding ceremony on its own is enough celebrate this massive step. But what of symbolism and gestures?
If you’re the type of couple who appreciates a good symbolic gesture, then read on. Across the world, different cultures have developed various wedding practices that indicate unity. These are carried out at ceremonies and celebrations.
Here are some examples from around the world:
Blanket wrapping
In general, Native Americans partake in the practice of wrapping a newlywed couple in a quilt, to symbolise warmth and togetherness.
However, when it comes to the ancient Cherokee’s specifically, each partner is individually wrapped in a blue blanket, before an efficient blesses their marriage. Thereafter, they are covered in one white blanket.
The colour blue is said to represent their past lives and the white is symbolic of their dedication to ensuring there is peach in their new life.
Lighting a fire
An old tradition in Africa uses fire to show the union of two families, by joining the embers of two flames from each family’s hearth.
These days, newlyweds may use a modification of this tradition, by lighting a fire together.
Circle the Groom
Or the bride, for that matter.
In one Jewish tradition, one partner circles the other seven times to break down barriers between them, ensuring that they are unified. In the past, it was customary for the bride to circle the groom, however, these days each partner circles around the other.
Handfasting
This ancient Celtic practice requires the couple to tie their hands together. The bride and groom hold opposite hands, which means their arms make an 8 (or infinity). Thereafter, their hands are tied together with a ribbon.
Other
Other practices, which are not connected to regions, cultures, or religions, can also be cute ways to show unity at your wedding.
