Every couple deserves a happily ever after
An engaged couple have been given a wonderful wedding gift thanks to Protea Hotel by Marriott.
Many of us dream of true love and wonder if we'll ever find it...
This was the case for Sean and Melisa, who both have Down's Syndrome. They met in February 2014 and it really was "love at first sight". They have been inseparable ever since.
Sean and Melisa also share a love of swimming.

He has competed all over the world for South Africa, and this year, both of them represented South Africa in Italy.
Between them, they have about 650 medals for all the events they've competed in!
Weddings are SUPER costly and the family is obviously contributing as much as possible, however, on top of the costs of the wedding, Melisa's parents also support her three elderly and frail grandparents.
Sean and Melissa are currently sleeping on the floor in the lounge, as there are no beds or spare bedrooms for them.
Danielle wrote in to the Big Favour telling me that there is one thing that's desperately needed... and that is their wedding night accommodation - but, the tricky thing here is that it would need to be accommodation for four adults as there needs to be some adult supervision close on hand because of Sean and Melissa's condition.
Thanks to my incredible sponsors, Protea Hotel by Marriott, Durban Edward jumped on board to offer the couple their magnificent honeymoon suite. They've also booked a room right next door for the parents so that they can be close at hand.
The Hotel's GM, Mr Werner Geere, also offered the bridal couple and parents complimentary dinner in the hotel's beautiful Brasserie Restaurant, complimentary Breakfast the next morning, Sky car tickets at Moses Mabhida stadium, and because they share a love of swimming, Sean and Melissa will also spend a day at uShaka Marine World with dolphin interaction.
