A Scots couple tied the knot after falling in love at a weekly 5k run. Ryan Waldron plucked up the courage to speak to his now-wife Melissa at Linwood parkrun in July 2019 after they had seen each other in passing at their running club.
After inviting her for a cooldown lap afterwards, the duo bonded over their love of exercise and quickly became firm friends. Dad-of-two Ryan helped teacher Melissa bag a coveted course personal best - despite her having to stop to tie her shoelace on the Renfrewshire course.
When they finally admitted they had feelings for each other around a year later, the relationship developed quickly as Ryan, 41, set about planning a romantic marriage proposal. Melissa, 32, followed a treasure hunt with clues before finding herself standing on the running course where Ryan dropped to one knee at the exact spot where she had stopped to fix her shoe just two years before.
