A NEWLYWED couple is seen smiling in their wedding photo before the bride was allegedly murdered during their honeymoon.

The bride, Christe Chen Dawson, stared deeply into her groom's eyes with a big smile on her face in the photo.

This photo was taken on February 18, months before their honeymoon.

“It was some kind of a whirlwind romance,” an anonymous source who knew Christe professionally told the Daily Beast.

According to the source, people were surprised to hear wedding bells.

No one spotted any red flags on the groom, but that could've been because not many people in Christe's life met him before the wedding.

The wedding reception photographer said in a recently deleted Instagram post:

“Christe and Brad’s joy radiated all over their faces and was so much fun to capture on camera,” followed by a heart emoji.

Although the couple seemed to be in love, things took a turn for the worst on their trip to Fiji.

When Christe, 39, was found dead in a hotel room at the Turtle Island Resort in the Yasawa Islands on July 9, suspicion arose around her new husband, Bradley Robert Dawson.

Bradley, 38, was charged with the alleged murder, according to FOX13.

The husband from Memphis, Tennessee was "nowhere to be found" at the scene of the crime, but police eventually caught him and took him into custody, according to the Daily Mail.

On July 13, Bradley was taken to the Magistrates Court in Lautoka, a city in Fiji.

Bradley's lawyer, Iqbal Khan, who is trying to get a bond, said that his client maintains his innocence.
