Happy Friday, Loverlies! This week, we've got the hottest buzz on the streets from covert weddings to the most elaborate and magical Disney surprise ever. Get ready for some major feels... 1. These two got secretly married! Remember when the most decorated Olympian of all time discussed his future wedding plans during his interviews at the 2016 Games? Well, the jokes on us because Michael Phelps just announced in a Facebook Live video that he and Nicole Johnson have actually been legally married for a while! Their marriage certificate, dated on June 13, 2016, confirmed that the sweet duo tied the knot in Paradise Valley, Arizona and were able to keep the entire celebration hush hush. Congrats you two!

My best friend.... I love you!!

2. Grab your Kleenex! It's a fairytale come true. Kleenex and Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons gave Ben and Kerry the best wedding surprise ever. Kerry has a rare heart condition, which requires frequent doctor visits that often leave her physically and mentally drained. As a way to cheer her up, the couple frequently visit Disneyland. It’s because of their personal connection to the park that Ben also proposed to Kerry there in 2015 and, while they didn’t think they could afford it, they recently received a wedding beyond their wildest dreams – making their happily ever after a reality. Be careful, this one's a tearjerker... 3. The royal watch is on for Meghan Markle. Rumor on the street is that the Suits actress has been dating England's most eligible bachelor, Prince Harry. People revealed that an engagement might be in the near future and the duo even made the cover of US Weekly. We're still trying to decipher that cheeky photo Markle posted on Insta of two cuddling bananas...could it really mean more? Stay tuned.
4. They never fail to impress. We were dazzled by this year's Halloween couple costumes but this family definitely took the gold. Beyonce and Jay Z dressed up as the iconic Barbie and Ken and even fit inside their adorable toy boxes. Their daughter, Blue Ivy, donned a flashy pink skirt with "Barbie" painted on her leather jacket. It's really no surprise that Queen Bee and her fam would hit it out of the park again. Slay, girl.

5. This grandpa just stole the show. Jennifer Briskin had a special relationship with her grandfather, Stanley, and wanted to honor him as she tied the knot with Austin Tansantisuk. And what better way than to ask him to be their flower girl? She presented him with an embroidered handkerchief and her 85-year-old grandfather accepted the role with excitement. He debuted as their 'flower grandpa' and the guests were absolutely thrilled. In a lighthearted manner, he threw the petals at the guests instead of down the aisle and it was one of the most memorable and hilarious moments in the newlywed's big day. Read the full story on Fox 5 Atlanta and even get a glimpse of her adorable grandpa practicing walking down the aisle in their driveway.
