Sweet is to food, what jewelry is to a lady. Wherever we go, carrying a box of sweets is a must.

You must be thinking what am I talking about? Well, I am telling you about a beautiful and magnificent proposal idea which was organized in Udaipur and I tell you I fell in love just with the video!

the best wedding proposal of Udaipur — Markus and Linda

Flash Mob Proposals have been popping up all over the last few years but we don’t get to see them a lot in India and primarily in Rajasthan. Recently, one such surprise idea was organized for two lovebirds Markus and Linda. It turned out to be really a memorable one giving them an experience like never before. Markus and Linda, from Dusseldorf, Germany, working as Psychologist and Marketing Manager respectively got engaged in October 2017 with the help of Believe Happenings.

How Did Believe Happenings Make It Happen?

On their trip to North India, Markus approached Believe Happenings to help him propose Linda. Through a succession of emails and calls, Markus and Believe Happenings created an exceptional and overwhelming proposal idea for Linda and himself. And finally, during their stay in Udaipur, Markus decided to bring his plan to action. A group of young boys and girls danced to the Bhangra version of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You at the beautiful and breathtaking Lake Badi, where Markus who had learned a few steps from the entire sequence from the dance videos sent to him also joined the flash mob. His dance gave Linda an experience she would not have expected at all.

And finally arrived the moment where he sat down on his knees and proposed to Linda. Who would say NO to such a beautiful proposal! Linda said YES and the couple expressed their happiness and love. To celebrate their engagement, they went to Fatehgarh for a dinner date, hence sealing their relationship with the tag of the wedding.

Watch the Video of Markus proposing to Linda, arranged and conceptualized by Believe Happenings:

No Comments on Aakanksha Luthra is making heads turn | Fashion Blogger-Entrepreneur from Udaipur

Aakansha Luthra or you can call her by the name ‘Curvy Diva Chic’, is all about body positivity, travel, plus-size fashion blogging, make-up and so much more. Her Instagram feed imparts positive vibes and so many colors that you would get mesmerized. I ran into talking to her and had so many questions to ask! So here is a brief about who is the Curvy Diva Chic and all that you must know about her.

How would you define yourself?

I am an everyday Plus size fashion blogger who loves long, flowing, breezy maxi dresses and skirts. If I were to define myself, I would sum up within these points;

♥ I am someone who would pick skirts over pants.

♥ Someone who loves to dress up for herself, love red lipsticks and coral pink being my soul color.

♥ I love cooking and travel to stay sane!

Tell our readers about your Blog- Curvy Diva Chic.

CURVYDIVACHIC.COM is an Everyday Curvy Girl’s Blog about Fashion, Travel, and Lifestyle. I started my blog in the year 2014 with a vision of boosting the self-esteem of plus size women through the silent language of fashion. My blog boasts plus size body positivity and encourages women to love their bodies.

How Did You First Get into Blogging?

I started my blog when I realized my love for fashion and I believe we are lucky to be in the era where fashion is more about embracing your personal sense of style rather than following the path of predefined “trends” set by someone else. Fashion helped me with my self-esteem, and I thought my voice may help others like me to be who they are. I was into writing already; fashion brought out the hippity-hop personality I never knew existed in me.

Plus size fashion is fun.

I get to talk constructively about things I always wanted to share, like doing what you really want to do and not thinking about what others have to say, because everyone has an opinion, and we are a population of 7 billion!

Tell me some of your strengths that really helped you in blogging?

It all started with an urge to express me. Further, excellent communication skills, being an extrovert and a strong will to do it helped me out a lot. Thanks to being fat a major part of my life, I am now immune to others opinions about me. So yeah, nothing matters and I get to do what I want to do!

How would you describe your blogging style?

Expressive, Chic, Elegant. I work on boosting self-esteem, mine as I boost others’.

Tell me about your proudest achievement?

For me, the proudest achievement was when I was featured in The Hindu for my work.

What was the most challenging moment in your blogging journey so far? Were your parents supportive of your career choice?

The most challenging moment in career was the decision of starting a blog. My parents have been a strong support for my entire career.

What would you say that is the biggest challenge for fashion blogging?

Fashion Blogging is an expensive affair. Further, conceptualization of the blog post is harder than it looks.

Who is your fashion inspiration?

Adele! She is the reason I fell in love with fashion in the first place.

What are some of your current fashion obsessions?

I am committed to the Long Flowy Maxi dresses. Anything classic and chic, especially vintage! I believe that if you don’t find something good to wear go for Off Shoulders, they are instant fixes. When I talk about colors, I go for corals and yellows, trust me these can do way more than just brighten your ensemble.

Where would you like to be in blogging five years from now?

I perceive myself as a successful Social Media Influencer and becoming the voice that I am.

Mention the brands or people you have collaborated with.

Daniel Wellington, Stalkbuylove, FabAlley, Lastinch etc. to name a few.

We hope the Curvy Diva Chic makes a difference and spreads tons of body positivity through her fashion. It was a pleasure talking to such an amazing girl with so much to share. If you wanna know more about her, you can follow her on Instagram and Facebook and check out her website as well.
