Women Who Proposed To Their Boyfriends, Tell Us What It Was Like
For example, Rita Ora proposed to Taika Waititi in a fancy hotel room filled with heart-shaped balloons.
And after falling in love with her best friend David Lawson during the 2002 lockdown, Sarah Snook popped the question on Halloween.
However, sometimes, these proposal plans fall through. For example, Jenna Bush Hager spontaneously proposed to Henry Hager only three months into their relationship, but he turned her down! Five years later, he asked her to marry him.
If you're a woman who proposed to her boyfriend, tell us about your experience! How did you decide you were ready to propose? How did your boyfriend react? What's the status of your relationship now?

People Are Sharing The Conspiracy Theories They Actually Think Might Be Real, And Some Of These Are WILD
With everything going on in the world, it's honestly no wonder that people want to theorize about the ways that governments, celebrities, and, uh, aliens might be conspiring against the masses. That being said, when we recently asked the BuzzFeed Community about which conspiracy theories they actually believe might be real, we got some truly WILD responses. Without further ado, here's how some of the over 300 commenters responded: 1."The housing crash was crap. I guess we're just a dishonest society, but how can both the seller and buyer be doing the wrong thing and have it collapse?" —heroiczebra383 Related: 2."The moon landing was staged... Murica is all about marketing... and competing with China and Russia, LOL." —catnamedcalamity 3."That the Egyptian pyramids were designed by aliens. I don't know how they could have been built so precisely otherwise?" —txcinderelly 4."That there are cures for different cancers, but Big Pharma is keeping it quiet and such because their entire business is based on sick people." —savannahg4e56476eb 5."I think that maybe Ouija boards are *really* cursed. Once, I did one, and it spelled out my friend's name (she had bone cancer; her name was Pam) and the next morning, we found out she'd passed away..." —mxcchio- 6."I think everyone sees colors differently. I.e., my red looks like your blue, but we both learned what we see as 'red.'" —ashlynsmith "It's good to know I'm not the only one having weird thoughts like that, because I definitely have considered this. I mean, there's no way to know what other people see." —sharpgoose281 Related: 7."Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were at first a publicity stunt." —trendyflower917 8."That we are not real. Our galaxy is just located in a locker in a station in outer space or in the charm on the collar of a big orange cat." —mudda8139 9."That the calendar is built like it is (i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) so we have to buy new ones every year, and it was all done by the calendar corporations to leech off our money." —the_snookie 10."Alien civilizations want nothing to do with the people of Earth because we are basically the trailer trash of the universe! We're supposed to be an intelligent society, but everything we do is to our detriment. We let people die because we don't share with each other, we have imaginary lines that people can't cross, and things that should be free, like food, clothes, and shelter, need to be bought with money." "The reason why they do experiments on us is that they're trying to figure out what's wrong with us and if it can be fixed. Obviously, the answer is no. They know that eventually we're just going to destroy ourselves." —jmacxjr Related: 11."The current state of the US is a direct result of Republican meddling, starting in 1968. The intent was to slowly dumb down the population, thus making them easier to control. The 'conspiracy' is that it was intentional." —kumamori137 12."AI listens to us all." —michaqay 13."That HGTV developed the open concept home to make money. Smash down walls with sledgehammers = more male viewership. Fewer walls means less materials, but builders can still charge the same as they were for more traditional homes." —micahdr 14."The government wants us all to be sick and dumb so we can rely on them for money and food. Doing this gives them full control. That's why our education levels suck compared to other countries and healthy food is so damn expensive." —heatherf416484889 "That's a lot like how I feel about why the government treats veterans like shit. We can't rise up if we're barely able to function." —certified_drapetomaniac 15."Religion was created by men to deny the fact that women are the superior gender — oh wait." —sandrac4c3faf3dc 16."Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the same bird. They're working together and just give constituents the illusion of choice. They're in politics for themselves and for the monied elite." —buzzkeeper Related: 17."The world really did end in 2012 in accordance with the Mayan Calendar, and our collective consciousness has been uploaded into a simulation that is being observed by aliens for their entertainment." —certified_drapetomaniac "Or this is the bad place, and they're running out of plot lines to torture us." —monikap6 18."Aliens got here a long, long time ago, and they're in the ocean." —jessethecowgirl 19."IDK if it's a conspiracy theory, but aliens are definitely out there. There are billions of planets that could sustain life out there, so that's billions of opportunities for life to evolve. It happened on Earth, why can't it happen somewhere else in the universe?" —faborca223 "Technically, aliens are considered a conspiracy theory, but we've found life in our solar system. But that's just in our solar system. The universe itself is so unfathomably huge that it seems impossible that there wouldn't be life out there. Not necessarily advanced, space-travelling life, but there's definitely at least one other planet or moon that can support life. Or some species that evolved to withstand the conditions of whatever rock they're on." —lacjiba 20."The current elites are doing space travel because they plan to go up to space for a few days while they get robot drones and droids to kill us, and then they'll come back to Earth to enjoy their privilege." —saffa88 21."The paintings on display in museums and art galleries are replicas, and the real ones are hidden in a vault somewhere." —ishouldstopactingcool finally, "Dragons were real." —mkayla8886 So, we have to ask: What's a conspiracy theory you believe is real?

Martin Izquierdo, 83, dies; costume designer who specialized in wings
At the conclusion of 'Angels in America: Millennium Approaches,' the first part of the two-part play, the angel of the title makes an impressive entrance, crashing through the ceiling of an AIDS-stricken gay man's New York apartment and proclaiming, 'The great work begins.' It was Mr. Izquierdo's ingenuity, and his flamboyant imagination -- assisted by a certain amount of technical wizardry -- that allowed Ellen McLaughlin, who played the angel on Broadway, and Emma Thompson, the angel in the HBO version, to hover convincingly some 30 feet overhead, framed by prodigious wings that were illuminated from behind. Those wings became a symbol of the production itself, an indelible part of its 'astonishing theatrical landscape,' as Frank Rich of The New York Times described the show in a 1993 review. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Their creator arrived in the United States in the 1940s, a young immigrant without legal status from Mexico who had been recruited to do agricultural work in California. Advertisement Mr. Izquierdo, who never became a citizen, eventually gravitated to a career as an artist, painting scenery for the theater before becoming a costume designer. In 1978, he left California for New York, where he opened his own studio and spent nearly four decades making costumes and props for film, theater, and the music and fashion industries. Advertisement He was best known, however, for the oversized appendages he created for 'Angels in America,' which combined genuine and fake feathers that were glued to a steel frame and then attached to a corset worn by the actress playing the angel. 'Wings symbolized the total imaginary world that Martin created for himself with his studio,' Austin Scarlett, a fashion designer and one of Mr. Izquierdo's many proteges, said in an email. 'Martin was all about making the fantasy come to life in a tangible way. What could only be dreamed of, he made real,' Scarlett added. 'He was a guardian angel to me and countless other artists he took under his 'wings.'' Mr. Izquierdo also conjured the large gossamer wings worn by Victoria's Secret models in the company's fashion shows, as well as custom regalia for celebrities. His clients included supermodel Heidi Klum, who commissioned Mr. Izquierdo to create a shockingly lifelike Halloween costume in 2011 that resembled a skinless body, and designer Marc Jacobs, who, thanks to Mr. Izquierdo, arrived at his annual holiday party in 2006 dressed as a life-size pigeon. Martin Nunez Izquierdo was born Jan. 30, 1942, in Mexico City, one of three sons of Rodrigo Izquierdo, an amateur painter who worked in a brewery, and Amaliz (Nunez) Izquierdo. When he was a young man, he moved to California under the Bracero program, which brought Mexican men to the United States during the labor shortage of World War II. In the late 1940s, the rest of his family joined him in California; they settled on Mandeville Island, near Stockton. Advertisement After graduating from Edison High School in Stockton, he briefly served in the Navy in the mid-1960s. He then enrolled at the California College of Arts and Crafts (now the California College of the Arts) in San Francisco, where he received a bachelor's degree in fine arts in the late 1960s. His first job as a designer was creating window displays for Macy's in San Francisco. In his mid-30s he moved to New York, where he found a one-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village. He lived there for the rest of his life. Mr. Izquierdo spent several years working as an art department supervisor for the Brooks-Van Horn Costume Co. before 1981, when he opened his own studio, where he was the creative director and Anne Marie Alessi ran the business side. The studio closed in 2020, during the COVID pandemic. Throughout his long career, he worked on the costumes for some two dozen Broadway shows, including the most recent revival of 'Gypsy,' in 2024, and a number of films and music videos, including the 2002 movie 'Spider-Man' and Kanye West's 2010 'Runaway' video. He also worked on costumes and scenery for concert tours by David Bowie, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, among others, and on window displays for retailers like Ralph Lauren and Armani. In addition to Glaser, Mr. Izquierdo is survived by two brothers, Roberto and Rodrigo. Asked once by Twelv magazine what he would choose to embody if he could be transformed into anything, Mr. Izquierdo picked a bird of paradise. But while he spent most of his life designing costumes for others, he told New York magazine in 2013 that he rarely wore one himself. Advertisement 'When you work in this world all year round, Halloween isn't that exciting,' he said, adding: 'I was once in a costume contest at Studio 54. I was a mummy -- but I didn't win.'
