I missed Chris’s first wedding.
This was to Melanie, played by Tina Regtien. It was over and done with before Shortland St even started – part of Chris’s backstory.
The marriage lasted approximately three months, or one year, depending on which episode you watch. It was short enough for Chris to get through it without cheating, so it ended amicably.

Chris was with his new wife Tiffany when he came across his old fianc
