Melissa + Minal by Finder Seeker - Together Journal

Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love, what is unique about you and your relationship:

Minal & I met three years ago on a dating app. Minal is originally from London and had been living here in the years prior. When we first met neither of us were seeking any long term relationship but there was definitely a spark from the beginning.

Minal is a Client Director for Media Agency and I work as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Theatre. What makes us unique is that despite having very little common interests, our values and morals are in sync. We balance each other perfectly and learn from one another everyday.

Tell us about your special day, was there a specific theme or style? Tell us a little about the setting, the styling and some of your favourite details:

The theme of the wedding day was to get married before I looked too pregnant!! I was almost 5 months pregnant, our baby girl is due in June. We chose to have a small ‘’COVID-style’’ wedding, we only had about 20 guests (including ourselves). The reason for this being that Minal’s family and friends from the UK wouldn’t be able to share the day with us due to international flight restrictions. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone once we get back to normal.

Tell us about your main outfits:

For me personally, I didn’t want my belly to be restricted in a tight-forming dress. I deliberately chose a dress that would accommodate my growing belly. For Minal, he strictly didn’t want to wear black on the day.
