The third same-sex couple vying to win a radio station’s ‘Fabulous Gay Wedding’ had a hilarious start to their love story which involved a failed flatmate romance and a night at a strip club. Aucklander Tash reveals in her letter to ZM that Melissa dated her flatmate briefly, but the chemistry between Tasha and Melissa was clear even then. Melissa and he flatmate broke up and the pair were at a birthday at a bar, which moved to the White House. Melissa said there weren’t enough chairs and sat on Tash’s lap, and the next moment they were hooking up and having dollar bills thrown at them. Two years later they are living together, engaged and have adopted a stray cat. “She is the first person to make me truly happy and I cannot wait to call her my wife,” Tash said in her entry letter. “We watched the marriage bill pass at a bar on K’ Rd surrounded by our friends, many of whom fought for this bill. How better to celebrate our union than a big f-off party marrying the love of my life?” Tash hadn’t told Melissa she had entered the competition, which was the first priority following the news they were finalists.
