Brooklyn Beckham Knew He Wanted to Marry Nicola Peltz-Beckham After Three Months of Dating
Brooklyn Beckham was confident that Nicola Peltz was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with early on in their relationship.
The A-list couple sat down for an interview with Glamour Germany — translated from German to English — published on Monday, June 2, and discussed their whirlwind romance. Brooklyn, 26, revealed that he would have liked to propose to his sweetheart even sooner than he did.
'We got engaged after six months. But Brooklyn had the ring months earlier,' Nicola, 30, told the outlet.
'I knew after three months that I wanted to marry her,' Brooklyn admitted. 'But because of COVID, I wanted to wait until our families could be there.'
Nicola detailed the proposal, which took place in July 2020, telling the publication it came as a surprise to her.
'Brooklyn had secretly planned everything. I thought he was just organizing a date. Since it was just him and my mom, I had no idea. In reality, my brothers, sister and dad had secretly flown in and were hiding,' she explained. 'After the proposal, everyone arrived in golf carts. I cried so much that my face swelled up. I could barely take a picture, and I didn't really see the ring until later.'
Nicola also said that she felt an instant connection herself when she first met Brooklyn at the Coachella music festival in April 2017, despite both of them being in separate relationships.
'Our encounter was brief, but special. I had a boyfriend, Brooklyn a girlfriend, but I immediately felt his charm,' Nicola recalled. 'He took a few photos of me and stayed in my heart long before we really knew each other.'
The pair tied the knot at Nicolas' family's Palm Beach estate in April 2022, and Brooklyn recounted how he shed tears on the big day after seeing his bride-to-be.
'I'm usually relaxed, but on this day, even I was nervous. I had to wait 10 minutes for Nicola — it felt like an eternity! But when she finally arrived, everything was forgotten, and I cried, too,' he confessed. 'One of my fondest memories remains the short car ride after the ceremony — just the two of us, taking a moment to breathe and savor the moment.'

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Canceled Due to Weather
The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has been canceled due to severe weather concerns. The festival announced the news in a Friday Instagram post after issuing a series of weather delays and an evacuation notice earlier in the day. Thursday marked the first official day of the event at the Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, that was set to last through Sunday, with only one of the four headliners, Luke Combs, delivering a performance before the event was canceled. More from The Hollywood Reporter K-pop Stars Enhypen on 'Desire : Unleash,' Coachella Debut and What to Expect on Their U.S. Tour Kanye "Ye" West Makes Brief Appearance at Sean "Diddy" Combs Trial Hollywood's Top Marketers of 2025 'Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days,' Bonnaroo wrote in their post. 'We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo.' Bonnaroo, too, revealed that they would be issuing refunds to all 1-Day Friday, Saturday and Sunday admission tickets purchased via Front Gate Tickets, though those who purchased 4-day admission tickets and camping accommodations via the ticketing service will only receive a 75% refund.

Luxury Retail Still Prevails on Mount Street
LONDON — In Mayfair, retail is bucking the luxury slowdown. Grosvenor, which owns prime retail property across London, is strategizing to keep the momentum going this summer with the Mount Street Neighbourhood Summer Festival as it celebrates the neighborhood's fashion, food and art offerings. More from WWD Franz Kraler to Open Luxury Ski-slope Chalet in Cortina d'Ampezzo Five Modes Boutiques Reopen Under New Italian Company Jewelry Brand Vickisarge Gets the Val Garland Makeover The crown jewels of the Mount Street Neighbourhood include diamond jeweler Jessica McCormack, the luxury hotel The Connaught, fashion designer Huishan Zhang, the Prada-owned patisserie Marchesi and the restaurant Hideaway. There's also openings taking place this summer from chocolatier Barnaby, perfume brand Fueguia 1833 and celebrity facialist and aesthetician Melanie Grant. 'After COVID-19, Mount Street came out of the block so strongly mainly because we'd cemented it as a neighborhood and we've made the strategic decision to really widen that tenant mix that's less dominated by fashion,' said Joanna Lea, Mayfair retail portfolio director at Grosvenor. Grosvenor has brought a set of consultants onboard to better understand the neighborhood's clientele, which makes up 5 to 10 percent of the world's global wealth. The Mount Street Neighborhood has been rebranding itself image-wise and on social media since October, around the same time that Frieze London kicked off. The neighborhood is being treated like a set of sails that reacts to the winds, in this case the cultural events taking place in and out of the city, from BST Hyde Park, Royal Ascot, the RCA Summer Exhibition to the Wimbledon Championships. The English pub the Audley Public House will be hosting 'A Week of Wimbledon' in July, serving up strawberries and cream with Pimm's and Wimbledon Martinis, but the beer on tap will stay put. 'When we think about programming Mount Street, we don't operate like a normal shopping neighborhood and think about Mother's Day or Easter, but instead it's about thinking about an international high-net-worth calendar,' said Lea, adding that they also take national holidays such as Saudi National Day and Fourth of July. American and Middle Eastern customers are the top spenders on Mount Street and it's a clientele that Grosvenor caters to carefully by vetting any newcomers into the neighborhood. 'No brand will come to the estate without us having met them. Ultimately, it's a people business and we want to do deals with great people because experience tells us that pays us dividends over the long term,' said Lea. Even though the luxury slowdown hasn't hit the Mount Street Neighborhood directly, luxury brands that are signing up for spaces in the neighborhood are taking a cautious approach by bidding on smaller units to test the waters before upgrading to larger spaces in the long run.

Remember when town was invaded with colour and cheer?
Wimborne was transformed into a colourful mix of music, dance, and ancient traditions in June 2005 as hundreds of brightly dressed Morris dancers, bedecked with a cascade of colourful ribbons, jingling bells, and jaunty feathers, jigged and reeled through its streets for the annual folk festival. In a joyous invasion, more than a thousand dancers and musicians, armed to the teeth with polished sticks and crisp cotton handkerchiefs, descended upon the town for three days of spectacular pageantry and heartfelt community spirit. The air, thick with the scent of summer and the sound of laughter, pulsed with the rhythmic clash of wood on wood and the melodic swell of accordions, fiddles, and flutes. Teams of dancers, some having journeyed from as far afield as the rolling hills of Scotland and the emerald shores of Ireland, wowed the bustling crowds with their stunning synchronised routines and spectacular, time-honoured costumes. From the intricate, handkerchief-waving Cotswold style to the robust, stick-clashing Border Morris with its performers in vivid 'tatter' jackets, the diverse traditions of this uniquely English art form were on full display. The jangling bells, historically believed to ward off evil spirits, provided a percussive soundtrack to the dancers' movements, while the fluttering ribbons and feathers added a splash of theatricality to the proceedings. 'It's very traditional and what we want to encourage is the family atmosphere,' explained festival committee member Maria Bisp at the time, her voice filled with a passion for the event.

The rise and fall of Tucktonia - Dorset's 'greatest little Britain' When tragedy struck one of Bournemouth's oldest pubs 'We want to attract lots of young people to the festival because we hope that they will continue the traditions and help preserve our unique heritage.' This commitment to nurturing the next generation of folk enthusiasts was evident in the numerous workshops and interactive sessions held throughout the weekend, inviting festival-goers of all ages to try their hand at a Morris jig or learn a traditional folk song. The festival's roots run deep in the community. Brian founded the festival 45 years ago, spurred by a desire to share his love for folk culture and to support a cause close to the nation's heart. With a loan of just £395 from the local branch of the Royal British Legion, given on the condition that any profits would be donated to the Legion's Poppy Appeal, Mr Bisp embarked on his mission. The Poppy Appeal, a symbol of remembrance and a vital source of support for armed forces personnel and their families since the end of the First World War, found a fitting partner in the community-focused festival. That first event was a resounding success, doubling the initial investment, and the festival has flourished ever since, growing into a cornerstone of the UK's folk calendar. And their efforts undoubtedly paid off. Beyond the captivating street performances, the festival celebrated the very best of English and Celtic folk music in a series of live concerts at the Allendale Community Centre. The line-up was a who's who of the folk world, featuring the intricate melodies of top Irish bands like Lúnasa and Flook, and the soulful tunes of Mise. The Allendale also played host to the wonderful Nancy Kerr and James Fagan, the poignant storytelling of Colum Sands, and the energetic rhythms of Welsh trio Hoover the Dog.

For many, a highlight was the sensational performance of one of the finest voices in the folk world, Roy Bailey. His career, hailed as representing the very soul of folk's working-class ideals, resonated deeply with the appreciative audience, his songs weaving tales of struggle, hope, and humanity. As evening descended, the Queen Elizabeth School became a whirlwind of energy as Whapweasel and Random provided the foot-stomping music for a lively Ceilidh, getting everyone, from seasoned dancers to enthusiastic novices, in the mood for dancing. Throughout the weekend, the town centre was a feast for the senses. Street entertainers captivated onlookers with their dazzling skills, while colourful stalls offered a treasure trove of goods, from ethnic clothes and intricate jewellery to handcrafted rugs and an array of musical instruments.
