‘It's a love story.' Woman on way to Taylor Swift exhibit at Science Museum records riverside proposal
People have quickly compared the proposal to Jim and Pam's rain-soaked moment at a gas station from the American version of 'The Office' or the famous kiss scene between Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in 'The Notebook.' 'I hope somebody finds them and tags them, this is the sweetest thing I've ever seen in my news feed,' one person commented. Advertisement Cardarelli arrived at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Amesbury Street just as the man began his proposal. The red light didn't turn green until she had said yes, she said. Cardarelli considered it fate. A clinical operations manager and an interior designer, Cardarelli had 'always' wanted to see a proposal, and this one was straight from a 'movie,' she said. 'I've never seen a proposal before, but always I've wanted to see one, which is why I got so excited,' Cardarelli said. 'That was like a storybook or like a fairy tale-type engagement.' Advertisement The video is muted on Instagram, but Cardarelli says 'Awwwwww' in the background while blink-182's 'All the Small Things' blared from her car's speakers. Teddy, her son, was desperate to understand what was going on, Cardarelli said. 'Can I see, can I see?' he asked his mother. Teddy had many questions afterward, Cardarelli said, like what was the man doing on one knee and why were they by the Charles River on a rainy day. Cardarelli's favorite part of the proposal was when the woman leaned back in for a 'second kiss.' 'It was an adorable proposal,' she said. Cardarelli and husband, Anthony, got engaged at her home in 2017, followed by an 'impromptu celebration' with friends and family.' 'I wouldn't say it was as magical,' Cardarelli said. 'It was magical,' Anthony objected in the background, as Cardarelli laughed. The couple in the video have yet to identify themselves on Instagram, but Cardarelli said she hopes they will see the video. 'You guys are adorable,' Cardarelli said she would tell them. 'I wish you the best of everything to come in life, and they look like they're a really cute couple.' As she continued driving down Memorial Drive, she saw a professional photographer capturing the moment. 'If I had the still photos, I would still want the video,' Cardarelli said. As Swift sang, 'It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'' Ava Berger can be reached at

The week ahead is going to test your relationships to the max: 4 zodiac signs BEWARE!
An opposition upon a conjunction, no matter how straight the themes of the playing planets may be, always spells out chaos of some kind. The reason behind these regular bouts of cosmically-induced chaos being intense, come as no surprise, given the massive power each of the ever-moving planets hold within them. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in a still from The Notebook (2004)(Photo: X) Now when we say relationships, the first implication is of course on love and romance. However, the impact of the quadruple arrangement now in motion, as per astrologist and psychic Evan Nathaniel Grim, is actually open to impact any and all relationships, right from friends to family and even work. And the fixed signs in particular need to take special note. Mercury is opposing Pluto, at the same time that Venus is conjunct Uranus. To break this down for you, Mercury in Astrology represents communication, intellect, and mental processes, while Pluto stands to denote transformation, regeneration, and power. So assume these two sets of themes to be butting heads with one another rather aggressively. In the same breath, Venus represents love, beauty, harmony, and relationships while Uranus represents revolution, innovation, sudden change, and individuality. The softest themes in this lineup are then, that of love and romance which are already aligned with Uranus' core energy of sudden change. With Mercury opposing Pluto at the same time, communication leading to (often painful) transformation will be the predominating energy. What to expect? The truth and nothing less. If things are actually are as they appear to be on the surface, your relationship, as per Evan, will have an emotionally-charged breakthrough for the better. However, if there are lies and deceit, expect them to come to the forefront in not so pretty ways. It could be as simple as finding out someone has been gossiping behind your back, or something as major as your partner having a roving eye. Fixed signs beware Seeing as most of this movement is taking place in the sign of Taurus, maximum impact will be felt by the fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Evan specifies that people with placements in the first 10 degrees and the last 10 degrees of the fixed signs are also to wield caution and keep an eye out. It's going to be a sink or swim situation — but as the number one rule of the cosmos asserts, everything happens for a reason, so hold on tight!

Materialists director Celine Song trashes Broke Man Propaganda accusations: ‘It's become fashionable to be classist'
Decades ago, when I was entering the dating market, it was drilled into me by the world, the movies, by my Feminism in Literature professor at the uni that men and women are equal. It has stuck with me since. Both should pay for dates, both should run the household. Both should work and do the chores. Celine expresses concern about the classist attitudes that have emerged within discussions of feminism, specially after her movie Materialists. But now, I can't seem to mesh those ideas with what the 'liberals' on TikTok and Instagram are telling me. 'May such love never find me,' reads every other comment on every other reel about a man and woman bearing equal financial responsibilities in their relationships. A man who is sweet, handsome, kind, and rich and doesn't let you see your purse again is the new bare minimum. Even movies where the heroine chooses the non-millionaire are being dubbed Broke Man Propaganda. Latest one to get accused of that is Celine Song's Materialists. It stars Dakota Johnson as Lucy, a matchmaker in New York City, caught in a love triangle between a broke actor John (Chris Evans) and old money rich Harry (Pedro Pascal). Everyone guessed it the moment the trailer launched, she does go for the broke guy, as has happened so often in movies we've grown up watching. From The Notebook to Titanic, we have always swooned as the woman chose true love over the perfect rich guy. So, why are women not feeling it in 2025? I asked if Celine had heard about the 'broke man propaganda' that she is accused to propagating with her film. Hundreds of women all over the world are making TikToks about how yet another rom-com is 'telling women to go for the broke guy' over the billionaire. Celine was just waiting for someone to ask her about it. Broke man propaganda: 'A brutal thing to say' 'I'm glad you're asking me because I feel like this is exactly the thing that I'm concerned about, to be honest with you. I'm a pretty radical feminist, and I'm a leftist. The truth is that a part of being a feminist and a leftist, which has been the way that I grew up, is that classism is not within the realm of what feminism was meant to be. I'm really concerned about the way that it is being portrayed as a feminist thing to say something as brutal as being very, very brutal to men who are not making enough money in their standards,' she says. "I find it to be very troubling. That's the truth. I've been wondering, who's going to ask me about this?" Glad I did, then. Celine says emphatically, "It's really upsetting to me that what happened to the way that we talk about feminism, the way that we talk about being a person and a woman. It's become that now people are going to judge each other for how much money they make. What happened? We actually think that being a billionaire is not entirely an immoral thing? What happened to the Occupy movement? What happened to the way we talk about class? What happened to the way that we talk about class gap and income gap? 'What happened to all of that? How are we talking about it, especially for the topic of love? How is it that people are talking it this way?' she asks and continues, 'Everybody who made the movie are very beautiful people. In my entire crew, in my cast, everybody is showing up because we want to make a movie about love. And then I find it to be very upsetting and very sad that everybody feels very openly comfortable with being classist. I feel like it's really surprising to me that it's become quite fashionable to be classist to each other. Which I think is like, I'm like, oh wow, why did being very wealthy, how did that become something that.' But what's the harm in going for the billionaire then? Why shouldn't Lucy the matchmaker with $80K salary go for the filthy rich equity manager Harry? 'An average American adult makes $35,000 a year, right? $35,000 a year. No matter how hard you work, no matter how long you work, you're never going to afford the $12 million apartment. Harry, who is my character, was a very wealthy person. He probably bought that $12 million apartment with help from his parents, right? Because he was a perfect equity manager. He doesn't, he's not a billionaire. A billionaire is somebody who is immoral. That's what I believe. So to me, I don't know. I just find it to be very disturbing as a leftist that, it's taking on the pretense of feminism or something that everybody feels very comfortable being classist,' says Celine. Classism in Feminism: 'It all depends on who you are' Celine also spoke to us about the changing dimensions of feminism and what role does classism have in it. "Hopefully, whoever you're with should be aligned with your point of view about money and gender. I think that's just true about every single thing. I think that if you're the person who would like the man to pay, then you should meet a man who does. I don't think that it has anything to do with some kind of universal roles. It's not one size fits all. It's really interesting because I feel like I'm always concerned about the way that feminism intersects with classism. 'I'm a little concerned about the way that we talk about money when it comes to gender, because I feel like there is a lot of brutality about men who don't make enough money. You're like, well, if the economic system that we live in was fair, if it was in favor of people who actually work the hardest, then I would feel one way, probably. The truth is that poverty is not the fault of the person who is poor.' "To me, it's very brutal for you to be judging people and especially men based on how much money they make. Given that, often it's not a choice. I'm sure they would all like to make more money so they can treat you to nice things if they love you. The fact that they can't, I'm sure it breaks their heart too. "I don't think the language should be that it's like, well, we're mad at somebody for not having enough money. It seems really brutal. I don't like that." Materialists released in theatres on June 13.

Dog Jumps in Water, What Cat 'Needy' Sibling Does Next Melts Hearts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A bonded pair of animal siblings have gained viral attention for their lake-side display of loyalty, after a cat's unexpected leap into the water to follow a dog delighted viewers on TikTok. Shared by the duo's owner under @mooseandpeach, the June 23 video shows the cat and dog both wearing pet life jackets on a paddleboard in a calm, scenic lake. As soon as the dog jumped into the water, the cat followed—highlighting a comically inseparable bond that has captured the hearts of millions on TikTok. The clip has been viewed more than 3.6 million times and liked by over 578,000 users to date. "My cat refuses to be separated from my dog," read the on-screen text, while the caption below added a famous quote from the romantic drama The Notebook: "If you're a bird, I'm a bird." Viewers were able to see the dog leaping confidently into the water, tail wagging as it paddled away from the board. What shocked viewers, however, was the cat's instinct to immediately follow, launching itself after the dog without hesitation. While cats are often portrayed as aloof or independent, this video offered a glimpse of a different side—one that values companionship so deeply it defies feline stereotypes. The reaction online has been swift and affectionate, with some commenters sharing their own stories of pets with unbreakable bonds while others simply poked fun at the lighthearted viral moment. "May this kind of loyalty find me one day," one viewer said. "Life is so weird sometimes," another added. "A cat swimming…Because it's needy…for a dog." Another asked: "Did the dog teach him how to swim?" "He's like I trust four legs more than two in the wild," a different viewer shared. "Or he's seen Homeward Bound and believes in his team mate." "Never seen a cat willingly jump into the water," another said, while another added: "They are definitely partners in crime." "You guys got it wrong that's an orange cat he wanted to let the dog know I can still get you if I want," another viewer said. "This is literally so cute I can't stand it," another commented. Newsweek reached out to @mooseandpeach for more information via TikTok. Stock image: A puppy and a kitten stare at one another while sitting in front of a lake.
