    Walking towards her ‘happily ever after’ Pakistani actor Mahira khan looked resplendent on her big day, dressed in decadent couture by Dubai-based designer Faraz Manan.
    Known for her work in Pakistani dramas and movies, Mahira is also well acclaimed internationally for her work in Bollywood and through her global brand affiliations. Having walked the Cannes red carpet and starred in L’Oreal campaigns, the 38-year-old actor needs no introduction amongst the South Asian diaspora.

    Recently, the Humsafar famed actor married her long-time beau, businessman Salim Karim, in an intimate ceremony. Nestled in an isolated location in Bhurban, a small town and a hill station in Punjab province in Pakistan, the venue for the wedding was equally breathtaking.
    For her big day, Mahira chose to wear a dreamy-but-heavily ornamented lehenga by Faraz Manan. Drenched in dove grey, the couture ensemble was painstakingly embroidered with ton-on-tone embellishments, further complemented with two dupattas and polki jadau jewellery.
    Before this, the actor-producer was first married to Ali Askari, with whom she shares her 14-years-old son, Azlan Khan. In the heartwarming visuals of her wedding, her son and younger brother can be seen walking her down the aisle.
    Take a look at the stunning visuals from Mahira Khan’s intimate wedding ceremony:

    Captain America is officially off the market.
    In a delightful turn of events, Hollywood heartthrob Chris Evans, best known for his iconic portrayal of Captain America, and talented actress Alba Baptista, celebrated their love in a private and intimate wedding ceremony on September 9th. The romantic affair took place at a secluded residence in the picturesque state of Massachusetts, with multiple media outlets buzzing with the news on September 10th.
    The 42-year-old Chris Evans and his 26-year-old bride, Alba Baptista, exchanged heartfelt vows in the presence of their closest family and friends. What made this celebration even more special was the attendance of some of Chris’s fellow Avengers stars, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner.

    Chris Evans and Alba Baptista
    While their wedding was a private affair, the couple went ‘insta-official’ earlier this year, when The Gray Man star shared a sneak-peek of their lives together. In January, Chris shared a delightful video montage showcasing their playful antics, often surprising each other with adorable pranks.
    The love story continued to unfold on social media, with Chris Evans commemorating Valentine’s Day the following month by sharing a series of endearing pictures and videos capturing their cherished moments together.
    In a world where celebrity relationships often play out in the public eye, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista’s low-key, intimate wedding serves as a heartwarming reminder that love can flourish quietly, away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds and wish them a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and happiness.

    The Stranger Things actor announced this happy new via Instagram. Of course, with Taylor Swift lyrics in the caption. Millie is all set to tie the knot with her long-time beau Jake Bongiovi, who she has been dating for almost two and a half years.
    The lines in her caption from the song ‘Lover‘ also confirmed the timeline of her relationship. “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,”
    The 19-years-old actor has been very public about her romance with legendary singer Jon Bon Jovi’s son. Engagement speculations first sparked when Millie posted a picture of the back of her head in a car — showing only part of her hand, enough for fans to spot a rock on her finger.

    Jake also made this new public on his social media, but in a more subtle way. With his arms around Millie and their backs facing the camera, the 20-years-old actor-producer captioned his adroable post with ‘forever’.

    While the details of the nuptials are yet to come, Millie did share her shimmering, oval-shaped  diamond ring with her excited fans. Like a true Gen-Z couple, they met on Instagram, became friends and the rest as they say is history.
    Here’s wishing the happy couple congratulations!

    Donald Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, is set to wed her fiance Michael Boulos this weekend.
    According to reports, the couple will tie the knot this weekend at the former US president’s lavish Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm West Beach Florida with over 500 guests set to attend.
    Over the weekend, the bride-to-be’s elder sister, Ivanka Trump, share a photograph with Tiffany on social media revealing they were in Florida celebrating her bridal shower.
    “Back in Florida, celebrating my beautiful, brilliant and kind sister @tiffanytrump at her bridal shower,” she said.

    Tiffany Trump’s engagement
    Tiffany and Boulos have been engaged for nearly two years. Boulos, who was born in Lebanon and raised in Nigeria, popped the question in January 2021 during former President Trump’s last week in office.

    Trump’s daughter posted a photo of herself and Boulos in the White House to announce her engagement, also showcasing her diamond ring which, according to the Daily Mail, was designed by jeweller Samer Halimeh and is worth $1.2 million (Dhs4.4 million).
    “It has been an honour to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions and create memories with my family here at the White House, none more special than my engagement to my amazing fiancé Michael! Feeling blessed and excited for the next chapter!” she captioned the photo.
    Relationship timeline
    As for how the pair met, they were introduced to one another in Greece in the summer of 2018 at Dubai-based Lindsay Lohan’s club in Mykonos.

    The couple were then first seen publicly together at New York Fashion Week that same year.
    Who is Michael Boulos?
    Boulos is of Lebanese and French descent but grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, where his father, Massad runs Boulos Enterprises and is the CEO of SCOA Nigeria. The 25-year-old has been described as a “billionaire heir” by Vanity Fair.
    Boulos eventually moved from Lagos to London to complete his undergraduate degree.

    Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially husband and wife!
    Finally getting their ‘happily ever after’ together after 20 years, the couple wed in Las Vegas over the weekend at the A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
    In a court filing obtained by E! News, it appears JLo has legally changed her name to ‘Jennifer Affleck’.
    Giving fans an exclusive glimpse inside their nuptials, the singer shared a series of phone snaps from the ceremony in her ‘On the JLo’ newsletter. The new bride also shared a few details about the wedding, much to our delight.
    “So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives,” JLo detailed in the newsletter. “They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle.”
    The 52-year-old described it as “the best possible wedding we could have imagined… one we dreamed of long ago… at very, very long last”.
    Take a sneak peek inside the wedding below.

    Second chances
    JLo and Affleck, known as ‘Bennifer’, announced their second engagement back in April of this year, nearly two decades after they were due to wed the first time.
    The singer herself confirmed the news via her fan newsletter in a short video which showed a tearful admiring a gorgeous green diamond ring on her engagement ring finger.

    OMG! I finally got the #onthejlo email! I am so FREAKING HAPPY for you @JLo !! So happy for Ben, you and your families! True LOVE & real LOVE does exist and you both found it in each other!! Thank you for sharing this very personal video with us all! LOVE YOU @BenAffleck @JLo pic.twitter.com/1xxBIC6qQp
    — Becky 💍 (@JLoLover4Life) April 9, 2022

    The engagement comes a year after the pair began dating in April last year and nearly 20 years after the pair were set to wed for the first time in the early 2000s.
    JLo and Affleck, dubbed ‘Bennifer’ at the time, first began dating in July 2002  after meeting on the set of Gigli in 2001. The couple’s relationship was heavily publicised and a somewhat media storm at the time.
    The pair became engaged for the first time in November 2002. Affleck proposed with a pink diamond ring reportedly worth an eye-watering $2.5 million.
    Bennifer were set to marry on September 14, 2003, but was postponed due to what was cited at the time as “excessive media attention” surrounding the nuptials. Four months later in January 2004, they announced they had split.

    Affleck went on to marry actress Jennifer Garner in 2005 but split up in 2018. The pair have three children together.
    Meanwhile, Jlo went on to marry Marc Anthony in 2004, with whom she has two children. The pair divorced in 2014 after 10 years of marriage. Most recently, JLo was engaged to former professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez. They began dating in 2017 and became engaged in 2019. However, the couple announced their split in April 2021.
    It’s clear that Bennifer are proof that second chances do exist.
