Modern wedding with fantastic red bridal gown - The Couple

The Couple

Melissa Northrop, a careers adviser, and James Wilcox, a commercial manager first saw each other on a night out for work six years ago. “We didn’t speak to each other that night, but when I saw him again two weeks later in a club I decided not to let him get away a second time,” says Melissa. “After plenty of eye contact and some cheeky smiles we got talking and he asked me out.”

Four years later, on the last day of a holiday in Hong Kong, James took Melissa for champagne cocktails and dinner to celebrate her birthday. “I assumed he was making my birthday so special because it was our last night there,” admits Melissa.

“After the meal he took me for a romantic stroll along the harbour front and we sat looking at the skyline and the ships roll in and out. It was a complete surprise when he got down on one knee and presented me with a beautiful ring, but I said yes immediately.”
