Jetting out of Britain to his high-spirited stag do in Las Vegas, Mark Wright wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words 'Groom – game over', cheekily provided by his friends. The truth is, however, the reality TV star put his ladies man reputation firmly behind him when he met 'the One', beautiful former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan, and couldn't be happier that she will soon be his Mrs Wright.
As the pair prepare to walk down the aisle in the celebrity wedding of the year, here are the quotes that prove they've found a lasting love.
The kiss that says it's all Wright at last
Mark telling HELLO! why they are perfectly matched:
"Everything I like to do, she likes to do. Everything she laughs at, I laugh at. It is weird how compatible we are, we are exactly the same."
Michelle agrees:
"We are best friends. He is like the reflection of me, the male version of me."
Mark was by his own admission a party boy but now he only has eyes for Michelle
Mark tweeting about leaving behind his bad boy days:
"How one man can change so dramatically and quickly in one situation in life#partyboy to the opposite!! Not ashamed to say it #number1 #MK."
Mark telling the Daily Mail that the relationship is for keeps:
"I think everyone knows I wasn't the best boyfriend in the world before but this time it's for real. Two years ago I was reading FHM and now my girlfriend is the best-looking girl in FHM. I do really love her."
Mark's reaction to hearing that Michelle had been voted the sexiest woman in the world:
"To all the fellas in the world I just want to say..... I’m sorry !!!! That beautiful creature is about to be my wife."
Michelle on the future:
"We have both got our fairytale."
Mark told the Daily Mirror he proposed after spending weeks apart from his girl filming a TV series around the world:
"I was desperate to see her, I missed her so much and that's when I realised, this is intense'. I couldn't be away from her for that long, so I thought I'm going to get on this flight and propose."
Michelle telling followers of her excitement after the Dubai proposal:
"THANKYOU for all the lovely messages, and yes it's true @markwright_ and I are engaged !! We are so SO happy :-) xxx"
Michelle and Mark have similar values and tastes
Michelle speaking to The Mirror about her contentment:
"It's weird because everything's worked out according to plan.
The plan was to meet someone and be happy by 27... and I am really happy. I wouldn't change anything."
Mark on looking forward to the wedding:
"I can't wait for the day. I'm looking forward to being married – to being called a husband because I know I have met The One."
