Celebrity Engagement - Ashton Kutcher!

Actor Ashton Kutcher is reportedly engaged to his girlfriend Mila Kunis.

Kunis was spotted wearing a sparkling diamond on her left ring finger while out shopping in Los Angeles on Thursday. A source tells E! News that the couple is planning to tie the knot.

They started off as costars on That '70s Show, and now Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are set to become husband and wife – they're engaged, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

Following widespread speculation that the actors could soon walk down the aisle, Kunis, 30, stepped out with a diamond sparkler on her ring finger while shopping with her mother on Thursday.

"Ashton and Mila have talked about getting married for quite a while," a business source close to Kutcher told PEOPLE in December. Adds another Kutcher pal: "They're incredibly happy together."

Kutcher, 36 (which means im still fine being single at 33..lol), and Kunis were first rumored to be dating in April 2012, and from then on, the former costars appeared to be inseparable, enjoying some well-documented PDA and lavish vacations together.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West planning a super-small intimate' wedding in Paris.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly planning a super-small intimate' wedding in Paris.

They're known for their lavish lifestyles, but they want an 'intimate' ceremony. Rumours about the couple's wedding plans have been flying around since they announced their engagement in October, with recent reports suggesting they had their hearts set on an extravagant royalty-themed celebration at Versailles Palace. However, Some may view this as a tad shocking considering Kanye's extravagant proposal at the San Francisco Giants stadium. Kanye got down on one knee in front of Kim, with a 50-piece orchestra playing her favorite song in the background.

He also presented her with a 15-carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz, which she proudly paraded all over social media.

Considering rumours involved jet engines, matching crowns and a cover on VOGUE, we're excited to see what the wedding day will actually involve. Kim also spoke out about how she and Kanye are working together to plan the day. "There's certain things I'm like, 'I know you're going to hate the seating chart, so I'll take care of this'," she told Seacrest. "And then there's some things that are really important to him. [But] the seating chart is like death."  "But we had such a strong bond," she continued. "He's really held my hand throughout my mistakes, and I don't think I'll ever find a friend that's as supportive."

And now, people, Kim gets to marry her very best friend and live happily ever after! Glisson N will keep an eye out for all the behind the scenes planning.

 

Justine & Shishen's Dramatic Statement

Justine & Shishen's Dramatic Statement by GN Events
 

 
Reinventing existing spaces is always exciting, and this wedding celebration was no exception. Our client wanted to create a focal point for the reception venue. The venue - The Hyatt Hotel Banquet Hall was just an empty shell before we started working on it. Around 180 people filled the space and did we create that focal point?
Working with my good friend Darren August and florist Ernest Niewenhuizen; our first challenge was the little space we had for the dancing floor. The dramatic statement - a 5x5m vinyl with the couple's signature image was to be fixed to the dancing floor with the 5 tier wedding cake in the middle.  After around 2 hours we managed to get it all in place with the assistance for Clement Naidoo and his team from Legacy. Needless to say, my clients were over the moon with it!

Cocktail event fit for a beauty queen!

A Beauty Queen’s Matric Farewell November 2013

I’ve known Cindy for a good couple of years. In fact, I did her Sister Jessica’s matric cocktail event back in 2010 at their then “newly renovated” 5 bedroom family residence in Glenvista Johannesburg. Cindy is no ordinary teenager. She is the current Miss Teen Johannesburg and Miss YOU Teen. She loves fashion modelling and dance and is quite a beautiful young lady.

Her parents wanted an afternoon event with her business associates, media partners and friends; and wanted the event to showcase how loved she really is. They foresaw nothing big as it would just be a 2-3 hour celebration. Their private residence was just the venue for the cocktail event, where their open plan kitchen, lounge and dining room would be used to entertain guests.

The celebration began with “RED GLOVE TREATMENT” as one of our handsome assistants welcomed guests at the gatehouse that was 60 yards from the main entrance.





A 15 meter red carpet was rolled out for the guests with a Rolls Royce Phantom parked next to it. The car expressed a sense of unrivalled status from every angle. After all, the car you arrive in is a major aspect of your matric farewell.  Our favorite chef at Destiny prepared premium canapés fitting for celebrities that were displayed strategically in-between the photo ramp and the lounge. While the matriculants were having their oohs and aahs outside at the pool area, adults relaxed in the lounge with champagne and house music in the background.

Sticking to my signature HUGE DÉCOR focus points, Cindy directed the focus to the Photo Wall, Champagne Bar and her Rolls Royce. Everything else complimented it. I took advantage of the personalised Bubbly Bar and did my first shoot for my 2014 “Red Carpet Moments with Glisson” series that will air this February. Final editing is still in progress with my friends over at Décor Picture and Frame. Keep an eye out for it.

We decided not to direct guests to the lounge area immediately, but instead take them to the Photo Wall where Cindy welcomed them and took pictures with them. Guests started arriving at 4pm with many of the media (including YOU Magazine) being there first.

Sunset signalled the end of the cocktail event but just before Cindy’s convoy departed for Thaba Ya Batswana, situated approximately 3km from her home, there was a few minutes for me to do a quick toast and her parents told her and her friends to do their very best in the upcoming matric exams. Well, they did exactly so with her school achieving a 99.1% pass rate (one pupil was sick and could not write) and 175 distinctions; 8 of them belonging to Cindy herself that came a close 2^nd overall at her school and in the TOP 1% (Business Studies) in South Africa in the IEB Exams.

The #GNEvents Team really enjoyed working on this special event and can’t wait for the 2014 matric farewell season as we host our first ever Glisson N Matric Farewell Cocktail Event.

Until next time; God Bless!
