Happy Friday! Fall has officially arrived and you know what that means Loverlies...pumpkin everything. Although temperatures are slowly cooling down, things are still heating up in the world of love. From Brangelina's shocking split to wedding rings lost at sea, here's what's buzzing:
1. The maid of honor carried her sister's sick dog down the aisle.
Kelly O'Connell's 15-year-old black lab mix, Charlie Bear, was diagnosed with a brain tumor five months before the wedding ceremony, reported People. Although he was able to slowly trod down the aisle, he couldn't manage to get up and walk after the ceremony. Instead, O'Connell's sister held the 80-pound dog in her arms and carried him. "He had the biggest smile on his face that he was there to see me get married. His body was failing him, but I could tell he was happy” said the bride.
2. We're smitten over these two lovers. Hand in hand, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik were spotted making a first row appearance at Versus Versace's Spring 2017 Show at London Fashion Week. They rocked coordinating black outfits and were oh-so-affectionate with one another on their date night. Bella Hadid, Gigi's sister, was given the honor of opening the show.
3. Thirty-seven years later, a diver found this couple's lost wedding ring. When scuba diver, Jessy Cuesta, found a gold ring 7 meters deep in Benidorm, Spain, she was determined to return it to its owner. The name 'Juani' was inscribed inside along with the date 17 February 1979. In hopes of finding the ring's owner, she shared the post on Facebook (without revealing the name) and asked others do the same. It was shared 78,000 times with over 300 responses until finally, Juani sent her a message. She told the story of how her husband, Augustine Aliaga, had lost it 5 months after their wedding when they were swimming near Benidorm. “It was a huge surprise that after 37 years someone found it and we heard about it,” Augustine told local newspaper Heraldo de Aragon. “Not because of the material value but the important symbolic and emotional value as it is the ring with which we were married in church.” 4. "I knew halfway through my third date with Andy that I was going to break his heart". In January 2015, Anna Swabey's doctors told her she had three years left to live after being diagnosed with terminal brain tumor. To distract herself, she joined Tinder and unexpectedly fell in love with the man of her dreams. Ten months after they met, he popped the question. In an essay Swabey wrote for Marie Claire she said, "As he got down on one knee, I cried and asked if he was sure – if we went ahead, he’d be a widower before he was 30. I could die following a seizure, or he might have to take care of me until the bitter end. My personality could even change. But he said that he’d rather be married to me for a few years than not at all." The duo were set to tie the knot this past Saturday with 160 guests but her condition deteriorated and she sadly passed away a day before the wedding on September 16, 2016. She chronicled her battle with cancer on her blog and helped raise money for brain tumor research with a goal of reaching £100k. “I am determined to leave a mark on the world, and I am desperate to make a difference,” she wrote on the page.
Best weekend with my ???? #hen #henparty #bridetobe pic.twitter.com/mk1NOeogws — Inside My Head (@braintumourblog) June 27, 20165. These puppies will melt your heart! As an employee of Pitties Love Peace, you can bet that Sarah Mallouk Crain is a huge fan of animals. That's why her and her fiancé, Matt Crain, decided to go without big day blooms and instead, have the bridal party snuggle up with these precious puppies for their photo op. In other words, it was basically an animal lover's dream wedding.
