Say 'I Do' At This Iconic Oregon Donut Chain That Hosts Weddings
In addition to its menu of eccentric donuts, Voodoo offers patrons the opportunity to host their special day at 11 of its 23 locations across the United States, including ones in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. There are three package tiers to do so, ranging from an Intimate Gathering, which includes up to nine guests and a dozen donuts, to a Sweet Celebration, which covers up to 40 guests and four dozen donuts. Adding to the meaningful day, all of Voodoo Doughnut's wedding ceremonies include two 12-inch, custom-made newlywed dolls; a heart centerpiece donut; and enough cups of its signature Magic Roast brewed coffee for your guests. Certainly, whichever one suits the happy couple, it would prove to be an occasion to remember.

Having a wedding at a world-famous donut shop is certainly something to brag about. However, if donuts aren't your thing, plenty of other fast food and restaurant chains offer their spin on quirky, one-of-a-kind weddings. The most comparable to what Voodoo Doughnut offers is likely the Taco Bell Cantina in Las Vegas. Here, the fast food chain took inspiration from the city's culture of fast and easy weddings, and added its spicy flair to it, providing the soon-to-be newlyweds with Taco Bell-themed wedding souvenirs, a Taco 12-Pack, and a Cinnamon Delights cake. Fans of the Vegas-style wedding may also be interested in booking their special ceremony at the Las Vegas Denny's location. The popular diner chain offers similar use of its chapel, a champagne toast, a cake made from its Pancake Puppies, among other celebratory items.
Interestingly, many of these quirky wedding ceremonies have the potential to be legally recognized, but aren't automatically so. It's important to note that the happy couple may have to obtain their marriage license before the booking date. Ultimately, while it being legally confirmed might depend on the venue (Voodoo Doughnut's catered wedding packages include legal ceremonies), most will likely still happily throw the ceremony even without the license present. Sure, it would just be a celebration of the couple's relationship, but it would be perfect for vow renewals — sprinkles and all.

See renderings: The Improper Pig to open in Plaza Midwood
The Improper Pig, a Charlotte-born barbecue joint known for mixing smoked meats with Asian flavors, is opening in Plaza Midwood this fall. Why it matters: It's replacing The Pizza Peel & Taproom, which closed last summer after a decade on the prominent corner of Central and Thomas avenues. Dig in: Expect anything but traditional BBQ, according to co-owner Will Bigham. The Improper Pig is known for its Asian-barbecue fusion and was featured on The Food Network's"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" for its creative toppings. The new spot will feature new menu items, including vegetarian options like smoked tofu and the No Pig Sandwich. Plus, globally inspired sides, like Asian slaw and edamame. It'll also have an updated beverage menu with beer, wine and cocktails. Between the lines: Charlotte-based hospitality group Stomp, Chomp & Roll, founded by Bigham, owns Pizza Peel and The Improper Pig. They also own several franchised locations of The Flying Biscuit Café. Improper Pig's new Plaza Midwood location will serve as a flagship restaurant for the brand, kickstarting a redesign across its other restaurants. Flashback: The Improper Pig first opened in 2014 in Cotswold. Four years later, they expanded to Fort Mill. In 2019, they relocated the Cotswold restaurant to Rea Farms in South Charlotte. What's next: The Improper Pig will open at 1600 Central Ave. this fall.

Now that's a big rock — what we know about Cristiano Ronaldo's gigantic engagement ring
Cristiano Ronaldo has proposed to his longtime girlfriend with a massive diamond engagement ring. The footballer's girlfriend, Argentine-Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez, announced the engagement in a Monday post on Instagram. She posted a picture of her hand with long, manicured nails — and a huge ring. Rodriguez captioned the post, "I do. In this and all my lives," written in Spanish. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Georgina Rodríguez (@georginagio) The central oval-shaped diamond was flanked on either side by two smaller diamonds. Anya Walsh, a jewelry specialist at London-based retailer 77 Diamonds, told The New York Times that she estimates the ring's weight was around 35 carats and costs at least $5 million. Ronaldo and Rodriguez have been dating since 2016. They met when Ronaldo walked into a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodriquez, now 31, worked as a retail assistant. They share two daughters and raise them with Ronaldo's three children from a previous relationship. Their son, a twin of their younger daughter, was stillborn at birth. Ronaldo, 40, is a Portuguese football player who is the captain and forward of the Portuguese national team and Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr Football Club. Before joining Al-Nassr, he played for numerous other football clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus.

Leggings-Under-Dresses Is This Year's Most Divisive Trend. Here's How To Wear It
The cyclical nature of the fashion industry is of news to nobody. We all know that what goes around comes around and that fashion trends have a lifecycle of around 20 years. What this means for 2025 is that those pieces that shaped 2005 — YouTube's launch year, when Arctic Monkeys released 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor', and when Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah's sofa — are ripe for renewal. And this very much includes leggings, and especially the styling choice of styling them under a skirt or dress. Unlike other trends that altogether disappear between their moments in the sun, leggings haven't so much gone away as have become big business for those that have embraced the post-pandemic Park Run towards athleisurewear. Choosing a pair of leggings has become commonplace and, whether you love them or loathe them, are among the defining items of this era's sartorial legacy. Yet, returning to the idea of layering leggings under a dress or skirt is enough to give any millennial who wore the trend two decades ago a little cause for concern. As with many questionable noughties looks, the pairing feels so utterly nostalgic to our tween or teenage choices that it's even perhaps incomprehensible that we'd want to attempt it again now. (It's also worth noting that 2005 came 20 years after 1985, when leggings were also the style du jour – think Madonna's movie Desperately Seeking Susan. So, despite us thinking we were innovators then, we certainly were not.) So, just on time, in 2025 a pervasive argument for their return arrives spearheaded by a cohort of designers: all of them millennials, most of them women and presumed wearers of the style pairing back in the mid 2000s. In her latest lookbook for a collection of pieces sold exclusively at Dover Street Market, Molly Goddard chose to style her voluminous tulle dresses with just-below-the-knee leggings and pointed shoes. The styling choice gives Goddard's familiar silhouette a refresh that feels at once nostalgic as it does future-facing. It raised my suspicions that a full-blown leggings redux could be bubbling on the horizon. But also, if I was going to try my Molly dresses with leggings, I might just need a little more convincing. Flicking through the AW25 collections, I quickly found other designers on the same page as Goddard. NY-based Sandy Liang is renowned for her girlish collections that centre around feminine details and sweet colour palettes and she put forward countless looks completed with leggings. Liang's were styled to be worn under skirts, sometimes clashing, sometimes matching with the patterns of the other pieces. It added to the new route to sportswear she seemed to steer for the season. Another designer on board is one of my favourite emerging stars: Lucila Safdie. The Central Saint Martins graduate has made leggings — even those with frilled buttocks — a central tenet of her sweet-cute aesthetic. 'I love them so much because you can have fun with them,' Safdie tells me. 'I like that they can be all different colours, prints, sheernesses – they can be worn by themselves or styled in so many ways, like with a dress, skirt or even a pair of shorts on top.' For Safdie, the perfect way to wear the look now is with 'a sheer dress and printed leggings,' affirming the ideas also put forward by Goddard and Liang. 'Cuteness!' she adds. Of course, cuteness isn't on everyone's sartorial agenda. At 16Arlington, Marco Capaldo has given the illusion of leggings a more sophisticated edge through solid black options worn with voluminous eveningwear. Here, they bring a directional edge that is easy to add to any pre-existing wardrobe favourite. It's these that have perhaps tempted me most as, like many, I can be more inclined to experiment when it comes to what I wear in the evening. The return of leggings might be in its infancy, but with them being so easy-to-wear, easy-to-access and probably already in all of our wardrobes, it's likely that, 20 (or 40!) years after we first fell in love with them, it might just be time to reconsider them outside of the Pilates class and worn under your favourite dress.
