Festivals are famous for many things, like mud, cans and unreal tunes.

Budding romance and pre-martial propositions aren't usually on the minds of festival punters, but there was an exception to the rule at Forbidden Fruit this Bank Holiday weekend. 

Taking to social media, Bulmers Forbidden Fruit Festival announced that one very thoughtful gent popped the question to his girlfriend at the three-day event. 

Dee and Keith met at Forbidden Fruit in 2014, and have been an item ever since. 

Now, exactly three years later, Keith proposed to Dee in the exact spot that they met back at the festival in 2014. 

'This is Dee and Keith who got engaged on Saturday at the very exact spot they met 3 years previously,' said FF.

The very thoughtful proposal happened in front of a carnival ride, and the photo captures all the elements you would expect at a muddy festival. 

We're not crying, you are.

So, weddings are supposed to be all about the couple who are choosing to spend the rest of their lives with each other right?

Not according to this guy.

One unnamed bride recently wrote to Slate Magazine's advice column Dear Prudence, revealing how the 'best man' her wedding used the opportunity to propose to his own girlfriend.

But that's not all, he also announced that he and long-term partner, Jane, were expecting a child.

Talk about stealing someone's thunder.

The letter which was later shared on Twitter read: "My husband and I started dating, got pregnant, had a child, moved in together, bought a house and got a dog in that order."

"Our friends and family have asked us for years why we weren’t married yet. We always pushed it off to build better lives. We’ve done really well for ourselves and finally reached a point where we could afford a huge blowout wedding to celebrate our lives with everyone we know and love. My husband’s best friend, “John”, was the best man/officiant."

"The setting was beautiful, everyone seemed happy, our families were overjoyed. My mum may have used the phrase “Hallelujah’” a few dozen times. The entire atmosphere felt moving."

"So moving in fact, that John stopped mid-ceremony to propose to his longtime girlfriend, “Jane”, and reveal her pregnancy."

The day, which was meant to be all about the bride and groom, then became focused on John and Jane. 

"I couldn’t even hear the vows my husband wrote or the rest of the ceremony over the noise of Jane’s happy sobs," she wrote. 

"John even went out of his way to ask the band for a special dance for just him and Jane on the dance floor."

The absolute cheek.

Needless to say, when Twitter users got wind of this bizarre story they were not one bit happy. 

The bride finished the letter by asking if she was being unreasonable. 

The answer? No. Absolutely not.

One hopeful groom-to-be is getting a serious bashing online for his crowd funding stunt.

The 30-year-old has ruffled some feathers with a €14,000 crowd sourced fund for an engagement ring for his ride or die. 

"This will raise awareness about the difference between the love we share and the love people have for us," he wrote on the page.

"Money for the engagement is your chance to get involved. I've heard everything from "I Love Yall" to "You need to put a Ring On It" etc etc."

"After watching Talladega College raise over 400k to attend the Presidential Inauguration I became a devout believer in this method of raising money for things and people you love," he continued. 

"Sometimes we can't quite afford expensive things by ourselves. A lot of people lean on credit card companies and banks (that overcharge them) so that they appear to do nice things for people they love by themselves," he said, justifying his actions.

The fund isn't exactly working out for the groom, with only €570.00 raised towards his goal so far. 

While it is wonderful that the loved-up lad wants to propose, €14,000 is a lot to ask of friends and strangers. 

"We have friends, family, and colleagues that don't mind passing up a drink or a sandwich to help out. Anything helps."

"All proceeds will go to the purchase of a beautiful engagement ring one that WE ALL can be proud of. Call me crazy but Love is Free Not Engagement Rings and Weddings," he finished.

Once you hit a certain age, you quickly realise that the festive season is less about who popped the button of their pants after Christmas dinner and more about who popped that all-important question on Christmas Eve.

Whether you have any intention of tying the knot with your other half, you can be damn sure half your Facebook friends were expecting a big announcement at some stage between December 24 and January 2 especially if you guys have been dating a while.

While you may laugh at the thought of your fella getting down on bended knee the rest of the year around, there's something about Christmas that allows you indulge the notion, imagine the picture-perfect moment… and then it doesn't happen.

If you've spent the last few days silently stewing over the fact you got a stressball instead of a solitaire and don't quite know how to cope with the deluge of emotion you're experiencing right now, don't worry – we've got your back on this one.

(No, they're not exactly subtle, but that's not how we roll.)

1. Splash out on a pair of designer gloves… and refuse to take them off inside the house.

"Ah no need to, babe. Sure, who'd want to be looking at my bare, old hands?"

2. Throw the remote against the wall and storm out of the room every time Don't Tell the Bride and Say Yes To The Dress come on.

"What? There's nothing wrong. I just have a sudden urge to use my stress ball."

3. Spend an afternoon creating a thoughtful collage for the friends in your life who did get engaged this Christmas.

"Don't mind me, I'm just excited to share in their happiness. Pass the glitter there babe, would you? Six months he spent planning it, would you believe? Six months."

4. Answer 'quiet' in a terse manner before shooting your bloke a look any time the pair of you are asked how your Christmas was.

"What?! It was quiet. Really…bloody… quiet."

5. Ruin a night out by insisting you have to go home to use the bathroom because the pub toilets are jammers.

"They're all engaged babe."

6. Avoid any conversation about the future because if he can keep you on your toes, then you sure as hell can do the same.

"Dinner? Next Saturday? Can't say for sure if I'll be around. Week after? Ah, who's to say at this stage?"

Are you planning a proposal? Know someone that is? SHEmazing! would LOVE to hear from you here – and help make it moment that your loved-one will remember always.

She rose to fame alongside Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi as part of Jersey Shore’s infamous Team Meatball, but it seems Deena Cortese is now all grown up as she has just announced her engagement.

The former reality star took to Instagram yesterday to reveal that she is set to marry her longtime love, Christopher Buckner.

The 29-year-old’s first post as an engaged woman featured a collage of images which shows her ring, two glasses of celebratory champagne and the spouses-to-be kissing.

It is captioned: “I always knew I would spend the rest of my life with Christopher…But last night while we were walking on the Beach in Mexico he made it official!!  We’re engaged!!!!!!”

Hours later, Deena shared a second set of images offering fans a proper look at her new rock.

The post reads: “I felt like the other pictures didn’t show how beautiful the ring was…The pic on the left was me a little after he proposed after I was finished happy sobbing lol.”

“Christopher did such an amazing job picking me out the perfect ring…It fits my little hand perfectly…This all doesn’t feel real!!!!  I love you @cbuckner_ this weekend has been so amazing so far.”

Congrats to the happy couple!

It’s been less than a week since the world learned of Prince Harry’s relationship with Suits actress Meghan Markle, but already there are whisperings of a potential Royal wedding.

Despite having only been dating seriously for a period of two months, sources close to the couple say that an engagement could soon be on the cards.   

“[An engagement] is certainly a possibility,” an insider told PEOPLE. “It is certainly one possible outcome. It’s pretty serious, so we will see.”

A second source revealed that the 35-year-old actress has already met Harry’s father, Prince Charles.

They also claimed that both the 32-year-old prince and the model have “pretty serious” feelings for each other.

“Harry is pretty serious about her and she is pretty serious about him,” they said.  “It’s great.  They have a lot in common and I’m sure they will get on very well.”

According to The Sun, Harry pursued Meghan by text after meeting her in Toronto in May of this year.

Multiple reports suggest the divorcée has been introduced to Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton.

She’s been branded a diva by Bruno Mars, but it seems a low key engagement could be on the cards for Adele.

Just weeks after her partner Simon Konecki arranged for a cloud of love notes to rain on the singer mid-show, reports have begun to emerge which suggest the couple have quietly agreed to get married.

According a Mirror source, the 28-year-old Grammy winner and 42-year-old charity boss have decided “it’s the right time to think about making that step”.

A friend of the couple said: “They won’t make a big song and dance about it, that’s not the way either of them are, and you won’t see Adele walking around with a huge diamond on her finger flaunting it.”

“But they’re ready to take the next step and [are] both very excited about the prospect.”

She recently surprised fans by taking her relationship with Liam Hemsworth back into the public eye, and now Miley Cyrus has spoken openly for the first time about her engagement.

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, the Wrecking Ball singer chatted casually with the famous host about her engagement ring.

Upon being asked about a picture which shows her wearing a colourful piece of jewellery alongside the simple diamond ring, Miley explained that wearing “real jewellery” is weird for her because most of her jewellery “is made out of gummy bears and cotton candy”.

 

I look like a fucking strawberry. #looklikemyfuckingmomdressedmethisam #prettysureihadthissamelookat6

She then suggested that the clash of styles doesn’t always work and confessed to sometimes replacing the ring with more playful pieces.

Miley said: “This is really weird because this is like real jewellery and most of my jewellery is made out of gummy bears and cotton candy and they don’t look that good together because they kind of mix up.”

“So sometimes I replace it with an actual unicorn or a Looney tune a he’s kind of like, ‘What’s going on?’ I am like, ‘This isn’t really my aesthetic but I’ll wear it because you love me.’”

 

So much love in one pic….  get ur happy hippie teeeee hereeeee http://miley.lk/HappyHippieMerch

Earlier this year, Miley was spotted wearing the ring – which was first given to her by her Hunger Games beau back in 2012 – shortly after they were pictured together in Australia and LA.

Despite the near persistent presence of the rock, in March Liam denied that his and Miley’s engagement was back on.

But given that Miley made no attempt to end her conversation with Ellen today, it seems wedding bells could at long last be on the way.

Mariah Carey has reportedly been dumped by her billionaire fiancé, James Packer, after a disagreement about her extravagant spending habits and new reality show.

According to Woman’s Day, the Australian businessman left the 46-year-old singer after falling out over her plans to expose their lifestyle on her new reality show, Mariah’s World.    

“It’s all over,” a family friend alleged.  “James had huge reservations about Mariah’s new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world.”

The site states that 49-year-old James allowed Mariah to keep the $10 million diamond engagement ring her gave her in January this year after a whirlwind romance.

Those close to the Packer family are said to be unsurprised by the news as they have reportedly had reservations about the relationship since its inception last year.

A source said: “James is very generous but Mariah takes it to the next level.”

“When she refused to come to Australia for [James’ sister’s] birthday party it created a lot of tension in the family. His mum hated to even hear her name mentioned, and James’ tight circle of friends never really thought they would marry.”

Mariah cancelled most of her South American tour earlier this week.

A few weeks ago, Amanda Seyfriend got engaged to Thomas Sadoski, and after only dating for six months, it's safe to say a lot of people thought it came out of the blue.

And even though we've known about her impending nuptials for a while, she's only recently started to sport her engagement ring in public… and people are having a fit over it.

Why you ask? Well, it's a simple gold band. And the Internet thinks that it's not enough. She needs a big flashy diamond, because, she is a celeb after all, right?

Nope. We don't agree with this in Shemazing! HQ, because well, who's to judge your style, and your choices? 

In the recent pictures of her posted on the world wide web, she wears the elegant gold ring proudly on her finger, and as any fan of Amanda will know, she's not into big, flashy things – whether it's her hair, her clothing choices or her nights out. She clearly likes to keep things simple.

And while we're certainly not bashing the diamond rings that most celebs wear, we're just saying that it should be the bride-to-be's choice.

It is her wedding, and engagement after all. Why criticise her?
