She wrote: 'When in Vegas… 6 years after our cancelled Covid wedding we thought we should probably get round to making it official... And yes, in the most ‘us’ silly and easy going way as possible. Can’t wait to catch you up on the rest of our trip but right now, we’re catching a flight to California! SEE YA'.
Stylish Attire for a Memorable Day
The bride looked stunning in a chic white mini dress, while Robert opted for a sleek all-black ensemble. Their son River added to the adorable scene, dressed in a miniature tuxedo to witness his parents exchange vows. The family's coordinated outfits highlighted the joyful and casual nature of the celebration.
Melissa's announcement has delighted fans, who have followed her journey from EastEnders to motherhood and now marriage. The couple's decision to wed in Vegas reflects their desire for a fun and stress-free ceremony, putting the delays of the pandemic behind them.
After the wedding, the newlyweds immediately jetted off to California to continue their trip, embracing the spontaneous spirit of their union. This marks a new chapter for Melissa, Robert, and River, blending family life with a touch of celebrity glamour.
