Working up the balls to propose to your girlfriend is one thing, but doing it on stage next to an a-list celebrity that is almost definitely a hundred times better looking than you are – now that’s cavalier.
It was just last week that we posted a story about how a lotto-winning couple’s relationship was destroyed – and now yet another couple is finding it hard to be happy after winning the lotto.

Sivakumar, a 30 year-old man from Kanyakumari, India, travelled to attend the wedding of Ponradha and Sithiraivelu. The day would take a dramatic turn when Sithiraivelu didn’t pitch up to the wedding, and Sivakumar had to step in as a husband-substitute.
You’ve got to give it up to Kanye. Sure he’s self-obsessed to the point of deifying himself – but hey, hasn’t he earned it? The man has been a hip hop icon for years now, and he’s always supplemented his musical work with ridiculous antics on the sidelines. This time, he’s receiving lots of attention for his proposal to Kim Kardashian, and his subsequent wedding plans
Keen observers of Kanye West will no doubt have noted his slightly obsessive personality. One particularly spoilt object of his obsession happens to be Kim Kardashian, his fiancee. Yes, they are now engaged. Yes, Kanye went completely overboard. Yes, this is yet more proof that Kardashian does not deserve West. For starters, he rented out […]
Love him or hate him – you have to admire Jon Bon Jovi for walking an Australian fan down the aisle in Vegas recently. Somehow this Australian lady, Branka, managed to get a message across Bon Jovi – who just happened to be in Vegas that week for his performance at the MGM Grand. And you know what, they guy actually did it.
Don’t get me wrong- the basic idea of having a ‘photo booth’ at your wedding is, fundamentally, quite cool. I get it. It’s fun and all that but please… Stop it… Just stop it right now.
My latest wedding gripe might go relatively unnoticed by the vast majority of wedding goers but I guarantee you that it takes place at every single wedding- I’m explicitly referring to the section of the evening where the MC or Best Man reads out messages from those who couldn’t attend.
The 34-year-old R&B singer has married the 27-year-old Sports Illustrated model, Chrissy Teigen. The couple tied the knot this weekend at a lavish estate in Lake Como, Italy – the spot where they fell in love. The beautiful bride said she bought three Vera Wang wedding gowns for the special day.

When was the last time you ventured to KwaZulu-Natal’s Midlands? Regardless of provincial loyalties or preferences, you can’t deny that it’s a stunning part of the world, and we are lucky to count it as part of the country. If you’ve never had the pleasure of wandering along the famous Midlands Meander, let me paint […]
Zimbabwe has suspended all weddings indefinitely – reportedly in an effort to curb corruption and fraud. The ban on matrimony was revealed by the state-run Herald newspaper, SW Radio Africa reported yesterday.
Lady Gaga graces the cover of the January 2012 issue of Vanity Fair. Yes, I know, it’s quite amazing that we’re yet to get into December and they’ve made a magazine for 2012 already. But look, that’s clearly just how they roll. And anyway, Vanity Fair can do what they want. You can read the […]
Today’s date – 11/11/11 – is an auspicious one. Particularly so for many Chinese couples, who have adopted ‘the day of six ones’ as an exceptionally lucky wedding date, ignoring the fact that 11 November is usually celebrated as an unoffical singles day in China. Once a century, those extra two ones make this an excellent day to leave the single life behind.
Conan O’Brien returned to New York last week for the first time since his falling out with the NBC – not only to rub his recent success in his former employers’ collective faces, but also to preside over the first same-sex marriage performed on late-night television. Because I guess that’s worth making a big deal over.
Lefty legislators (Those liberals! What will they come up with next?) in Mexico City are pondering a change to the city’s civil code that would give couples eager to samba down the aisle the chance to sign out of “til death do us part” within two years of the anniversary, giving them the opportunity to annul or renew their vows without censure.
I’ve seen some pretty crazy shit in my time, but this is seriously messed up. Actor Doug Hutchinson, aged 51, of “Lost” and “Green Mile” fame, has married his 16-year-old girlfriend, Courtney Alexis Stodden in Las Vegas last month.
When it was announced last week that Hugh Hefner’s fiancee Crystal Harris had called off their wedding, it was hard not to feel bad for the old guy. For about two hours. And then he got himself a new Playmate – the woman Crystal had named as her maid of honour no less.
Look, I’m a cynic, but this is a must-see. Not content with simply getting down on one knee and asking his girlfriend to marry him, this legend of a man made a movie trailer without her knowledge. He then got her brother to take her to the movies, set up a hidden camera to capture her reaction and then, ag, just watch the video, okay?
So hey, third time lucky and all. Paul McCartney, 69, is taking another shot at that whole ‘marriage’ thing with New York socialite Nancy Shevell, 51 – there’s still a nice two-decade gap there, so Paul still gets high fives, but it’s not a creepy two-decade gap. The two met at the Hamptons in ’07.
The original WILF, then MILF, GILF, and later GGMILF, Great Dame Liz Taylor was picked up in a limousine sent from heaven yesterday. During her time on earth, it took her no less than eight marriages to realise that she’s just not cut out for it. Her response in this video when asked if she’d ever marry again is…just…epic.
Well, I mean not totally – it’s the evidence found on Facebook as grounds for the dissolution of marriage which causes 20% of all divorce cases in the US, but still. Big number. Increasingly, social networking sites form the primary source of evidence in custody battles and divorce proceedings, so heads up.
