The Bride

Hello there, I'm Melissa. Nothing is better to me than spending time with my loved ones. Whether it's sharing a tasty meal, a refreshing drink, a beautiful sunrise or sunset, or a tropical getaway... I'm up for it. And when I'm not doing any of that, you'll find me at the gym trying to burn off all of those extra calories from the delicious food and drinks.

Melissa

The groom

Hello, I am Joshua, the fun-loving and home-cooking scuba enthusiast who spends his days in technology, his evenings cooking for the beauty below and weekends underwater somewhere with family, friends or students exploring a wreck, cave or reef somewhere on our blue planet.

Joshua

Our love story

First meet

July 2020

Well, not actually the first time we met, but the first time we spent time together, connecting through conversation and finding so much common ground that when we parted, each of us was left looking forward to the next time...

First date

August 2020

What better way to kick off a relationship than to enjoy an exotic dinner at sunset, on the beach, and over looking the ocean. It may not sound like a fairy-tale to many, but looking over a steaming platter of Paella at the most beautiful and amazing person... just sitting there, bathed in warm sunlight and overcome with joy... well, it couldn't have been more magical for us.

Proposal

May 9 2023

A beach, a sunset, a girl and a ring in his pocket, the only thing missing is that perfect moment. And there it is... between the waves lapping against the shore, he takes a knee, he takes her hand and takes the ring from his pocket. The ask is simple, yet enduring and the answer is what he hoped for. Yes!

Wedding

October 10, 2024

What happens when you get a breautiful bride, her groom, family and closest friends on a white-sand beach at Sunset? You have the recipe for one unforgettable wedding... and we did!

We are going to... Celebrate Our Love
