Shona, real name Aaron, met Connie at her Johannesburg home in 2001. At the time, she was already a household name thanks to her iconic role as Karabo Moroka in Generations. Shona was there to drop off mutual friends meeting Connie’s sister Lorato. As he sipped on a glass of water, Connie came out out of her room to greet him and their love story began.

It was a whirlwind romance for the pair. After only two months of dating, they tied the knot in a traditional wedding. Their white wedding was held soon after and appeared on the December 2001 cover of Drum.

You are the music in me: Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s love story

December 4, 2020 No Comments

In a story that is wildly millennial, Hollywood “it”-couple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra began their love story thanks to a Twitter DM.

Since then, they’ve had a whirlwind romance that saw them date, get engaged and marry in quick succession. This beautiful couple have been married for two years, but have been giving us couple goals for even longer. Here’s how they stole each other’s hearts.

Back in 2016, the Jonas brother slid into actress Priyanka Chopra’s Twitter DM’s with a casual, “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet,” the singer told Vogue.

Not one to mince words, Chopra responded with, “My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me.”

For about a year, the pair shared friendly yet flirtatious conversations over text. They finally met in person at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar party in February. Jonas was so bowled over by Priyanka’s look that he went down on one knee and loudly proclaimed, “You’re real. Where have you been all my life?”

The pair continued to hang out, and even attended the Met Gala together later that year, both wearing Ralph Lauren. At the time, however, Chopra claimed they were just friends and had attended together because they were wearing the same designer.

Nearly a year after that fateful DM, the pair went on their first official date in May 2018. They went to see Beauty and the Beast at the Hollywood Bowl. It was a fast romance for the pair from this moment. In June, Chopra was Jonas’s plus-one to his cousin’s wedding, and the couple went Instagram official on June 22.

Before the dust settled on their relationship announcement, the pair were back with even bigger news: In July, they got engaged. Jonas had proposed the day after Chopra’s 36th birthday while on holiday in Crete.

The pair announced their engagement in August while on a trip in Mumbai, in which their families met for the first time.

Chopra’s engagement ring was designed by Tiffany’s, a childhood dream of hers. Going along with the theme, she hosted her bridal shower at the iconic Tiffany’s Blue Box Café in New York. She wore a strapless white Marchesa gown and A-list stars like Lupita Nyong’o and Kelly Ripa were on hand to celebrate with her.

Every member of the bridal party stunned in Ralph Lauren, with Chopra stealing the spotlight in a Ralph Lauren-designed dress that was hand-embroidered and hand-beaded with more than two million mother-of-pearl sequins. It was her veil, however, that truly stole the show. A 22-metre veil, that is! Chopra’s veil required assistance from five people to bring to the altar where Nick Jonas was awaiting her.

6 celebrity couples who had “minimonies” for their weddings in 2020

December 2, 2020 No Comments

If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we can all actually manage going a little smaller and a little closer to home. These celebrities have shown us how a wedding doesn’t have to be lavish to be beautiful or special.

These “minimonies” or micro-weddings had all the love, even with a smaller ceremony.

The daughter of legendary Steve Irwin, Bindi Irwin married her fiance Chandler Powell at a small ceremony at the Australia Zoo gardens.

The couple had to change their plans last minute as COVID-19 made the larger ceremony impossible. Irwin explained that her mother helped her get ready, her brother walked her down the aisle and they all lit a candle in her father’s memory.

Royal weddings are usually significant and grand affairs. Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. This was a much more toned-down version than they had planned but they pulled it off perfectly.

Princess Beatrice did get the fan fare, as many fawned over her beautiful dress which was an updated loan from her grandmother.

Lily Allen

Lily Allen married Stranger Things actor David Harbour in one of the most classic minimonies of all time, the Vegas wedding. Officiated by an Elvis impersonator, the wedding was a low-key affair which was followed by a dinner at In-N-Out Burger.

Not all of the affair was so cheap, Allen wore a Christian Dior mini dress that cost a pretty penny.

Swedish musician Tove Lo married Charlie Twaddle in a minimony in July. Not only was this wedding a small one, it was also a secret with the couple only announcing their news later with a few Instagram posts.

In addition to being a small affair, the two took on 80’s inspired looks for their intimate affair.

Parent Trap star Dennis Quaid married his girlfriend Laura Savoie in the middle of the pandemic. Rather than the lavish wedding in Hawaii they planned, which would be followed by a second reception in Nashville with friends and family, they had a ceremony with only themselves and their pastor.

The wedding still took place by the seaside at a resort in Santa Barbara.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s love story

November 20, 2020 No Comments

One of Hollywood’s most-loved celebrity couples has a pretty sweet love story. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt have been married for a decade, and are a powerhouse team.

The pair met in 2008, and it was love at first sight. Blunt was out for dinner with a friend when Krasinski walked into the same restaurant.

“We were discussing how much I was enjoying being single. And then [my friend] goes, ‘Oh, my God, there’s my friend John.’ And that was it,” Blunt told People TV.

“It was one of those things where I wasn’t really looking for a relationship and I was thinking I’m going to take my time in LA,” Krasinski told Ellen Degeneres. “Then I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, ‘Oh god, I think I’m going to fall in love with her.’ As I shook her hand I went, ‘I like you.'”

In an interview with the Today show, Krasinski credited the hit NBC show The Office for connecting him with his wife. Prior to landing his iconic role as Jim Halpert in the series, the actor was contemplating quitting acting.

“It’s a little bit of an existential crisis after a while because I wouldn’t have met my wife, I wouldn’t have been out in LA. Truly, when I say the show has given me everything, it’s given me everything,” he said.

The pair had an unusual first date. Wanting to do something different, Krasinski decided to take Blunt to a shooting range.

“I decided, ‘I’m gonna really hit the gas and bring her to a gun range.’ I think that I was so sure that I would never end up with her… that I was like, ‘You know what, I’m gonna blow it right away and then that way you don’t feel bad.,” he recalled in an interview with Conan O’ Brien in 2012.

That date turned out to be incredibly successful. Within 10 months the pair were engaged. They tied the knot in Como, Italy a year later in July 2010. Blunt wore a custom cream chiffon Marchesa gown for the festivities. George Clooney was one of their guests.

In February 2014 the pair welcomed their first child, a daughter named Hazel. She got a sibling in 2016 when daughter Violet was born.

The actors decided to work together for the very first time in 2018 and began work on the critically-acclaimed horror film A Quiet Place. The film was directed by Krasinski, while both starred in it. Working together brought them even closer.

“I’ve always been the biggest fan of her, but not until you’re in the room when she does what she does do you know why she’s so phenomenal,” Krasinski said during an interview on The Tonight Show. “She’s unbelievable. The most talented, powerful … kindest person. She makes everyone around her better. So honestly, that was my experience.”

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip celebrate 73rd wedding anniversary

November 20, 2020 No Comments

Queen Elizabeth said ‘I do’ to the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip 73 years ago on November 20, 1947.

To honour their anniversary, a new image of the couple has been released. In the photograph, Her Majesty and His Royal Highness are seen looking at an anniversary card made by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, alongside other cards and letters sent by well-wishers.

The photograph was taken by Chris Jackson Getty in the Oak Room at Windsor Castle earlier this week.

The pair tied the knot at London’s Westminister Abbey back in 1947. 73 years later, they are the longest-married couple in the history of the British monarchy.

They met at a royal wedding when Queen Elizabeth was just eight years old. They fell in love after a second encounter when she was 13 and he 18, and began exchanging letters. In 1946, Philip asked King George VI for his daughter’s hand in marriage. The rest, as they say, is history.

The wedding did not go without incident, however. Elizabeth’s tiara snapped on the morning of the wedding, and Philip was stopped for speeding through central London on the day of the rehearsal dinner (November 19). He reportedly said at the time: “I’m sorry officer, but I’ve got an appointment with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”

When she was just 25, Elizabeth’s ascended the throne on June 2, 1953, after her father’s death. Prince Philip was the first to swear allegiance to the new queen, describing himself as her “liege man of life and limb”.

The two have been by each other’s side for many years now, and are a beautiful example of a strong and steadfast marriage. “He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years,” said Queen Elizabeth II as she described her husband on their golden anniversary in 1997.

The timing of their anniversary is impeccable, as the Royal Family has been in the news after the latest season of The Crown premiered on November 15. The Netflix show, which chronicles the lives of the monarchy, has drawn criticism for its twisted retelling of facts about real people, many of whom are still alive.
