TGIF, Loverlies! The holidays are right around the corner so if you're still scrambling to pick out that perfect gift for your S.O., we've got a few options that will surely please! And before you jet off for the holidays, check out what’s buzzing on the streets. 1. The "Property Brothers" heartthrob is officially off the market. Or at least one of half of the duo is! Drew Scott proposed to his girlfriend of six years, Linda Phan, at Piano Piano in Toronto. The lovebirds first met in 2010 at a Toronto Fashion Week event and he said to People, “I’ve never met another woman like her and once you do, you want to be with her forever”. Congrats to the happy couple!

2. It's a match made in sports heaven. Remember when NFL's Colton Underwood scored a double date with Olympian Aly Raisman via a sweet surprise video? Well it looks like these two athletes really hit it off and have been secretly dating since the VMAs! They stepped out together on the red carpet at the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year Ceremony 2016 at Barclays Center of Brooklyn, New York. Congrats you lovebirds!

Someone who brings out the best in me. My girl looked absolutely stunning last night ❤️

3. They're headed down the aisle AND expecting! Just a few months ago, Ryan Lochte popped the question to his model girlfriend, Kayla Rae Reid. Lochte took to Instagram to announce that the duo are now expecting a sweet addition to their family. Congratulations!
4. We hear wedding bells! Congrats to DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba and soap star Robb Derringer on their recent engagement! “Saturdays are special to us, because our first date was on a Saturday and we have celebrated with a toast, a visit to a beach, special date, a motorcycle adventure, or a road trip on every Saturday since,” the couple told PEOPLE. “So on Saturday, we returned to the place of our first date and got engaged at the same place we shared our spontaneous and magical first date”. Derringer popped the question with a custom 3.68-carat Jean Dousset ring. He wrote on his Insta, "So overjoyed to share the best thing that has ever happened to me when @carrieanninaba made me the luckiest guy in the world in saying....yes." Could they be any more romantic?
5. Troian Bellisario and Patrick J. Adams' "Fort Day" wedding will actually melt your heart. The "Pretty Little Liars" star and "Suits" actor tied the knot on Saturday in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their loved ones and mother nature. The lovebirds converted a school bus with the words “Almost Married” plastered on the back.

So what does "Fort Day" actually mean? Thankfully Bellisario explained on her Instagram... "8 years ago we were two friends who had shared very little time together. We were tired and overworked and just wanted to have some peace and quiet. So he invited me over to his apartment where he had built us a pillow fort. He stapled sheets and Christmas lights to the ceiling. We shut the door to the world outside. We didn't answer our phones. And over pancakes and movies. Long late night conversations and sleep, we got to know each other a little better. That was the first fort day. Each year after that our fort got a little bigger until 3 years ago our fort was a brand new home. Our first that we bought together. And in the still and the quiet of that "fort day" he asked me to marry him. Well this year it wasn't about peace and quiet. Two days ago we decided to make the biggest fort we could dream of and we asked all our friends and family to come in it. Tents and talent shows. Food trucks and fires. Kids screamed "I love fort day!" before jumping into the pool. I can't believe something small between friends could be accepted and embraced by so many people that mean so much to us. And what that said to me was that any of the tough times we've had making 8 years of long distance work was worth it. The pining. The missing. The quiet nights alone believing that it would be worth it. We were right to believe in us. And not only did we believe @halfadams but everyone around us did too. #fortday2016"

Guests cozied up in their canvas tents and were even given a collection of necessities to survive the weekend.
Well it took a village, but we finally got them married. I'm gonna go sleep forever now. #fortday2016 A photo posted by lulu brud (@ladyluofthewolves) on
While the lovebirds were taking wedding photos down by the ocean, leaves tangled up in her train and the whole crew had to come to the rescue.

Even though the sweet duo were often separated by distance as Adams filmed in Toronto while Bellisario filmed in Los Angeles, they managed to overcome the challenges. We're absolutely swooning over their rustic details and simply can't get enough of their magical love story! Congrats to the newly minted couple!
