They met on a new year's break in Dubai back in December 2011, before getting engaged in the Middle Eastern holiday hotspot in September 2012.
So it was only right that Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright's choice of New Year's Eve party destination would be the United Arab Emirates once again as they prepared to welcome 2015, the year that will see them tie the knot.
The smitten couple looked more in love than ever as they puckered up for a huge kiss as the clock struck midnight while celebrating at Le Royal Meridien hotel's Zengos restaurant.

Wrapping their arms around each other lovingly as they kissed, the pair were no doubt excited at the prospect of becoming husband and wife in 2015.
Michelle, 27, opted for a typically stylish outfit for the celebrations, showing off her toned and tanned figure to perfection in a chic tailored lemon yellow minidress.
The former Coronation Street star added height to her frame with a pair of tan leather tie-up heels, and wore her glossy raven locks hanging loosely around her shoulders.

Mark, 27, looked rather dapper for his evening out with his fiance, teaming a crisp white shirt with smart black trousers.
The TOWIE star turned TV presenter completed his ensemble by slinging a monochrome printed jumper over his shoulders to offset his deep Dubai tan.
But the couple - who are planning a wedding in the UK later this year - managed to break away from their smooch to enjoy a traditional rendition of Auld Lang Syne alongside a group of friends.

The pair later posed for a cute selfie, which Michelle later posted on her Instagram page, with the actress playfully poking her tongue out towards the camera as Mark grinned away.
Giggling away as they posed for the cameras in their novelty New Year masks, Mark and Michelle looked the epitome of love's young dream as they partied the night away.
Of course, Dubai holds rather special memories for the couple, who met while on a New Year's holiday in the Emirates in 2011.

Mark later popped the question when they returned to the Middle Eastern holiday hotspot in September 2012.
But Michelle admitted she thought her beau was joking when he got down on one knee.
She said in an interview with Hello! magazine: 'I thought he was joking at first and then he said "come here".
'I started crying, and said yes, and then he started welling up as well. Then as we walked further down the beach I saw a table set up with lanterns and petals, and with two glasses of champagne.'
So cute: The couple posted this image on New Year's Day writing: 'So exciting for this year with this little one'

Mark added: 'It didn't take me long to realise that Michelle is everything I wanted. Michelle is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.'
The Strictly Come Dancing finalist recently admitted spending three months apart from his stunning girlfriend due to work commitments was the catalyst for him popping the question.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said: 'I was desperate to see her, I missed her so much and that’s when I realised, ‘f*****g hell, 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. I flew Michelle to Dubai and that’s where I told her I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
'I’ve got now, for the first time in my life, what I’ve always wanted and what every boy dreams of – affection in a relationship, love, best friend, a girl I fancy… everything rolled into one.'
Michelle was previously engaged to The Wanted singer Max George, while Mark was formerly engaged to his childhood sweetheart and TOWIE co-star Lauren Goodger.
