American pop star Ariana Grande married her luxury real estate agent fiancé Dalton Gomez at her home in Los Angeles on Sunday.
According to reports, a representative for 27-year-old Grande said the ceremony “was tiny and intimate” with less than 20 people.
“The room was so happy and full of love,” said the rep, adding: “The couple and both families couldn’t be happier.”
The wedding ceremony reportedly took place at the couple’s home in Montecito, California.
“Both Ari and Dalton love Montecito. They spend a lot of time there,” revealed to a source to People. “It seems only natural that they would get married at Ari’s beautiful and historic house.”
Grande announced her engagement to Gomez in a December Instagram post that included photos of the pair and her diamond and pearl ring with the caption “forever n then some.” The couple reportedly began dating in January last year and quarantined together during the lockdown.
While the couple prefers to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, Grande occasionally expresses her feelings publicly on social media with loved up pictures.
They were seen for the first time together in public in a music video for Stuck with U, a charity song she recorded with Justin Bieber during the coronavirus lockdown in California and released earlier this month.
The lyrics of the song refer to the couple spending the lockdown together.
The song tells a story familiar to many young couples in the pandemic era – forced to settle down together quickly or be kept apart thanks to virus mitigation restrictions.
Sharing a picture of himself grinning with Samina, Humayun said: “Happy wedding anniversary my love! Blessed to have you by my side.”
“May Allah continue to shower His blessings on us and may you and I continue to hold each other through moments of weakness and strength,” continued the actor, adding: “Health, happiness and smiles forever.”
Samina also penned a heartwarming note for her husband writing: “In this life and the next, through all the good, bad, easy and not so easy things, I would continue to choose you over and over again.”
“Happy Anniversary Humayun. All these many years have been nothing short of a blessing with you by my side. I love you.”
To celebrate a decade of their marriage, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released photographs showing the couple snuggling in happy embrace, a contrast to the tensions that have gripped Britain’s royal family in recent weeks.
The images show Prince William, second-in-line to the throne, and the former Kate Middleton in complementary shades of blue. One image is reminiscent of their engagement photo.
Second-in-line to the throne William, 38, and Kate, 39, married at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, after first meeting at university and then dating for more than seven years. They got engaged in 2010 after William proposed with Diana’s diamond and sapphire engagement ring.
“When I first met Kate I knew there was something very special about her,” William had said in an engagement interview.
They now have three children — seven-year-old Prince George, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, three — and their family represents several generations destined to head the centuries-old institution for years to come.
After 10 years carrying out solo and joint royal duties as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as they have been formally known since tying the knot, the couple are among the most popular monarchy members.
Kate recently drew widespread praise for her demeanor and style at Prince Philip’s funeral, with a striking photograph of her arriving by car wearing a black veil and face mask making waves around the world.
The image drew comparisons with William’s late mother, Princess Diana.
William is far more preferred than his 72-year-old father, with around a third of Britons wanting him to succeed his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, instead.
Meanwhile, Kate is the third most popular family member behind the 95-year-old queen and William. Two-thirds of people had a positive opinion of her, according to a YouGov poll published Tuesday.
Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez and former New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez called off their engagement because “we are better as friends.” The former couple announced their breakup on Thursday just months after denying their four-year relationship was on the rocks.
“We have realised we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” Lopez, 51, also known by her nickname J.Lo, and Rodriguez, 45, known as A-Rod, said in a joint statement.
“We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects,” said Lopez and Rodriguez.
One of the biggest celebrity couples in the United States for the past four years and sometimes known in the media as J-Rod, Lopez and Rodriguez said they would largely remain mum about the split out of respect for their children from previous relationships.
“We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support,” Lopez and Rodriguez said.
In March, they denied reports they had split, saying they were “working through some things.” At the time, several reports citing unidentified sources close to the couple had claimed that the pair had called off their engagement.
Rodriguez and the Love Don’t Cost a Thing singer, who sang at US President Joe Biden’s inauguration in January, began dating in early 2017 and announced their engagement in March 2019.
Late last year, Lopez said the couple had postponed their wedding twice because of the pandemic.
Lopez began her career as a dancer and a singer and produced and starred in the 2019 movie Hustlers. She has appeared in other movies and on television, including The Boy Next Door, which has been trending in the Top Ten on Netflix Pakistan.
Weddings are a lavish affair in the subcontinent with most families leaving no stone unturned for the perfect wedding. These grand weddings not only leave pockets empty but are also very damaging to Mother Earth given how much waste they produce.
Bollywood star Dia Mirza, who is known to be one of the most committed champions of sustainability, decided to go against the norm when she tied the knot earlier this year, using her fame and influence to bring about a positive change. The model, actor and producer, whose environment-friendly efforts have also been recognised by the United Nations, opted for a sustainable wedding not only with her bridal look (an heirloom-worthy Benarasi sari) but also with the design and decor of the venue.
Talking to Brut India, Mirza shared how she planned her zero-waste wedding and gave tips on how you can plan yours too.
Handmade Gifts
“People love to give gifts to announce their weddings and stuff so even with that, we made sure we had handcrafted woven baskets, made by artisans and we sent everybody a plant,” shared Dia.
Local Decor
“All our decor, which was primarily the use of wasted twigs and woods and locally-grown flowers,” said Dia. “I think when we think of big events for weddings, we tend to use exotic flowers from all over the world, there’s obviously the carbon footprint of transport, etc.”
Sharing how to make the decor sustainable, Mirza said: “Making it sustainable, would entail going local and it also makes it just easily accessible, earthy and beautiful. And we wanted a very earthy wedding. All the decor elements were natural and locally available. A lot of them were recyclable and were obviously on hire so they would get recycled again.
No Food Waste
“We chose to keep the ceremony and the wedding extremely intimate and private,” said Dia. “That ensured that we had good control on numbers. We knew exactly who ate what. We ensured we knew exactly how many vegetarians and non-vegetarians were attending the wedding. We made sure we did food plating accordingly. And of course, we ensured that there was absolutely no food waste.”
Sustainable Fashion
“We tend to make garments that we can only wear once and never wear again and it’s most unfortunate,” lamented Dia.
She shared: “The last time around, I auctioned my clothes and this time around, I made sure I got a garment that I could reuse, wear again and again, and actually pass on, as a very wearable and beautiful item of clothing.”
“So I choose a sari. Even my husband chose an outfit that he could continue wearing through life and wouldn’t have to just wear it on that one day and hang it up in the cupboard and never touch it again,” shared the actor.
No Plastic
“There were no plastic straws, there was no plastic cutlery, there was no plastic bottles, or water on those horrible, dreadful little bottles that people serve water in,” said Dia. “We, in fact, bore an additional cost on water, because we chose glass bottles which are more expensive than plastic bottles but we said we’d rather do that and reduce cost on something else and create all that plastic waste which was so unnecessary.”
“So, we’re very proud at the end of that day and that evening because we succeeded in creating a completely sustainable event,” she added.
Dia chose to get married in her home garden, which is close to her heart. It’s also the home of her favourite mango tree, which became the highlight of the evening.
Using elements of the venue as part of the decor is a great eco-friendly decor idea.
Dia tied the knot with Mumbai-based businessman Vaibhav Rekhi in an intimate ceremony on February 15. The couple is also expecting their first child together.
Sorry guys, but Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have not gotten married in secret as being speculated and reported.
Social media was recently abuzz with news that the former One Direction star and his long-time girlfriend had tied the knot in secret after Zayn’s collaborator Ingrid Michaelson referred to him as a married man during a live session. Soon after fans of the couple started trending the hashtag #ZaynisMarried on social media to express their excitement.
Turns out Michaelson made a blunder because she later issued a clarification, apologising for the accidental blunder.
“So, I should be asleep, but it’s been a crazy hour, hour and a half,” said the 41-year-old Girls Chase Boys performer in her Instagram stories. “On my Patreon live stream, I said that I’m working with Zayn. I mentioned that he was married, and he’s not married. As far as I know, he’s not married. It was a mistake. I’m so sorry, I said I was sorry.”
“I don’t live in this world. So the level of fame, makes me really, truly admire Zayn and anybody with that level of fame. Every little thing you say is just, wow! I’m not built for it,” she continued.
Michaelson further said: “My apologies to Zayn and Gigi, if any of this trickles to you and is annoying. I’m sorry—that’s not my intention.”
“And to his fans, I’m sorry for getting you all riled up, and much love to you all,” she added.
Zayn and Gigi, who welcomed their daughter Khai in September 2020, have been dating on and off over the years. They reportedly met at the 2015 Victoria’s Secret after-party, where Zayn recognised the model “from her picture”. In an interview, Zayn revealed that he asked her to have dinner with him at a New York City restaurant called Gemma.
“She’s a very intelligent woman. She knows how to carry herself. She’s quite classy and that. She’s not, like, arrogant in any way, she’s confident. She carries it well. She’s cool,” Malik had said in the interview.
They confirmed their romance in December 2015, though they have had several breakups along the way. Their most recent split happened in January 2019, and the couple spent nearly a year apart before they reportedly began casually talking again 11 months later. In April, the couple gave fans a surprise when they announced that they were expecting their first child together. After the birth of baby Khai, rumours have often circulated that the two have gotten married. However, there has been no official announcement by the couple.
Sharing a picture of himself with Aly, Ahad said: “I know it’s a little late, but thank you to everyone, especially our fans who made our first anniversary so special. We really felt like you celebrated with us.”
“To those of you who took our anniversary as an opportunity to do some good for our environment, it was the best gift ever,” added Mir.
Ahad also praised his wife, calling her “a beauty”.
Concluding his note, Ahad asked his fans to guess what he is holding in his hand in the picture he shared. We’re guessing, it’s an ice-cream stick.
Ahad and Sajal tied the knot in March 2020 and celebrated their first wedding anniversary on March 14. According to various reports, the couple celebrated their anniversary in Paris after Sajal wrapped up shooting for Jemima Goldsmith’s What’s Love Got to Do With It?.
Meanwhile, Ahad and Sajal were recently spotted together after a long time at a friend’s mehndi.
