We love weddings, and everything that comes with it, like bridal showers. It's a moment to 1) savor being a bride, and 2) to mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for becoming a wife. Case in point: Zeinab Harake's bridal shower.

Yup, the YouTube content creator had a bridal shower organized by her bridesmaids. Take note that it was a surprise (!) bridal shower including her fellow YouTubers Donnalyn Bartolome, Viy Cortez, and Jelai Andres. Joining the party were Rana Harake, Celine Parks, and Alnette Cordova.

The bridal shower began like it was just a normal pamper day for the girlies, until the gifts came in. Of course, the bridesmaids prepared gifts for Zeinab, who is entering a new era in her life. ICYDK, she's engaged to basketball athlete Ray Parks Jr. 

The gifts that they gave Zeinab were eye-catching, to say the least. But we think the presents were absolutely perfect for a bridal shower. There was sexy lingerie, a bottle of wine, and a jar with letters meant for Zeinab. But the most interesting gift? The set of sex toys. The theme? Bondage.

"Magagamit ko ba 'to?" Zeinab exclaimed when she first opened the gift. She wasn't complaining, though, but was wildly amused by the gift. Later on, it was revealed that it was Alnette who bought the gift.

"Naririnig ko nag-aasaran kayo lagi ni Paps [Ray], 'yung fantasy unlocked, kaya naisip ko yan," Alnette said, talking about the reason why she chose that item to be her bridal shower gift for Zeinab.

That's when Zeinab disclosed that she and Ray paused their sexy time due to wedding preparations. But, after the wedding? Oh, they're on, she says. "After wedding, bakbakan talaga," Zeinab affirmed.

Zeinab's bridal shower continued with an afterparty. Other personalities like Awra Briguela, and stylist Patty Yap, joined the fun.

Zeinab Harake and Ray Parks Jr.'s relationship

Zeinab and Ray had two engagements. The first one was announced on July 8, 2024. The Filipina-Lebanese YouTube star said yes to Ray in a tear-jerking moment witnessed by their loved ones.

The vlog about their first engagement included clips of when Ray got the blessing of Zeinab's sister, Rana Harake, and also Zeinab's kids' approval of Ray to officially be their dad soon. Her kids, Luke and Bia, actually exclaimed during the proposal, "Mommy, please say yes!"

Zeinab took charge of the second proposal, which she announced in September 2024. It was the sweetest thing as she surprised Ray during a normal day in Japan. When Zeinab acted like proposing to Ray in Nagoya, the basketball athlete jokingly acted like he was surprised. But there were no questions asked, TBH. Zeinab just gave Ray the ring saying, "Hindi ko na siya tatanungin kasi siya 'yung nagtanong eh, pero it's a yes?" Ray affirmed, "It's a yes," while laughing at Zeinab's funny gesture.

Zeinab and Ray went Instagram official in May 2023. Since then, they've been open about their relationship, showing snippets of how they are a budding, happy, modern family as Ray welcomes Zeinab's kids with open arms. It actually went viral when Bia, Zeinab's youngest, started calling Ray, "Daddy." We can't wait to see more of the happy family and, of course, Zeinab and Ray's wedding! ;)
