Before viral proposals existed, this Staten Island bride said 'yes' in the most unique way possible

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - When Patrick Benson popped the question to Barbara Olsen two weeks before Valentine's Day in 1976, she didn't want to accept his marriage proposal in the typical ordinary way. So she turned to the Staten Island Advance. That year, the paper had kicked off a playful new Valentine's Day tradition - Love Lines - a popular addition which continued for decades. Love Lines were special, short advertisements aimed at those in love, those falling in and out of it and those looking for commitment.

Dua Lipa & Taylor Swift Have 2 Of The Top Engagement Ring Styles Of 2026

The fashion industry agrees: 2026 is your main character era. Nearly all of this year's biggest trends encourage maximalism - including bridal style. Though timeless designs have traditionally been the go-tos, many brides-to-be are exploring ostentatious wedding dresses awash in embellishments or constructed with exaggerated silhouettes. The same can be said for engagement rings; while many will continue to opt for classic cuts and settings, there's been more of a shift toward flamboyant, statement-making styles. And Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift may be partly responsible.

The hill I will die on: Stag and hen dos should be fun, not bankrupting endurance tests | Liam Pape

A stag or hen do should be a straightforward, fun night celebrating a good friend moving into a new chapter of their life. Instead, thanks to films such as The Hangover and Bridesmaids, as well as the general Americanisation of what a bachelor or bachelorette party should be, we've ended up with too many overindulgent, wildly inconvenient and quite frankly underwhelming send-offs to our friends who are getting married. Somewhere along the way, they've morphed into three-day tests of stamina and disposable income.

Is Premarital Counseling Worth the Time?

At its core, premarital counseling is meant to prepare you and your partner for all the challenges that will test your commitment to one another. It's important to explore topics such as finances, family size, and how to manage in-laws before marriage, but we also need to recognize that the plan decided before marriage may not always apply in 5, 10, or 20 years. Premarital counseling can potentially teach you how to communicate effectively and what you need to discuss.
