Randy Wente had bluffed proposals to Miranda Mccallion “five or six times.” So when he got on one knee in front of their families, her reaction … left a bump.

Most of us can but dream of rocking up to the club and casually meeting a member of a royal family. But, that's what happened to Ariana Austin on the dance floor of Washington D.C. nightclub Pearl back in December 2005 when she met Joel Makonnen, a.k.a. Prince Yoel.  The story didn't end there for Austin and Makonnen. Twelve years on from their nightclub meet-cute, the couple tied the knot, and Austin became a princess.

Austin also happens to be of noble blood: she's the granddaughter of the lord mayor of Georgetown, Guyana. A post shared by Ariana Austin Makonnen (@chezariana) on Sep 15, 2017 at 7:14am PDT Enough about royalty, we want to know what went down in that nightclub on that fateful night in 2005. That night, Makonnen strolled over to Austin and her friend and said: "You guys look like an ad for Bombay Sapphire," according to the NYT . It appears Makonnen's regal background didn't help him out in the chat-up line department. Apparently, it took Makonnen just five more minutes to tell Austin: "You're going to be my girlfriend." Well, he certainly didn't waste any time.  Official pics are here! All credit to the talented @dotunayodeji.

Austin works at the Executives' Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, and Makonnen works at Otsuka America Pharmaceutical.  Congrats to the happy (royal) couple!

Two is better than one!   and  are the definition of #FriendshipGoals, and they're about to put their friendship on display for the world to see in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2018. These two beautiful ladies are joining our growing rookie class and will appear TOGETHER on the pages of this year's annual issue.  We've got a live look at their shoot taking place in beautiful Aruba:  These two Aussie babes aren't just gorgeous models, though. Georgia and Kate created Any BODY, a passion project and blog that celebrates beauty of all shapes and sizes. "It's for anyone that's ever felt insecure because they're 'too thin,' or 'too fat,' have rolls, scars, cellulite or stretch marks," explained Kate.

A photographer has released a collection of photos of abandoned buildings that are still standing despite years of neglect. Roman Robroek, 30, of the Netherlands, traveled all over France in a bid to capture the beauty of these decaying buildings. The stunning images were taken over the past five years at destinations throughout France. They include homes, churches, hospitals, castles and even automobiles.
