Our love story

Mel and Josh met in November 2019 after crossing paths on a dating website. Mel was immediately struck by Josh’s kindness and intrigued by his island life, while Josh instantly fell for Mel’s cute smile and dark humour.

In the weeks that followed, they couldn’t stay away from each other. Weeks quickly turned into months, months into years - and along the way they bought a home, shared countless adventures, and filled their days with laughter and love.

In September 2024, on a beautiful beach in Vanuatu, Josh got down on one knee…&amp; Mel said yes! They can’t wait to celebrate with their favourite people and finally become Mr &amp; Mrs 🤍
