Jonathan Bennett, known for his role as the Aaron Samuels from the iconic film Mean Girls, is engaged to his longtime partner, TV star Jaymes Vaughn! The engagement was perfectly planned by Jaymes, who even took the time to write his love an original song. The engagement came as a complete surprise to Jonathan, who “began to ugly cry the ugliest cry anyone has ever cried”. We can’t help but feel our hearts warming when we see a personal, thoughtful proposal like this one. And the engagement rings were every bit as meaningful.

The Emily in Paris star Lily Collins recently became engaged to Charlie McDowell, on a romantic, sunny trip to New Mexico. McDowell designed the bespoke ring himself, with the help of a jewellery designer. The unusual engagement ring features a bezel set rose-cut diamond ring, set in 18ct gold with a chunky brushed band. The understated, bohemian style of this engagement ring perfectly suits Lily’s laid back style.
