Ever after: Pam Redwood & Linal Harris

By Chiara Milioulis / Weddings / September 10, 2015

They say you can’t replicate the kind of love you see in movies, but Pam Redwood and Linal Harris may prove otherwise. The two met at a movie premiere for “LUV,” produced by Common, but kept it purely professional. “We basically had a business conversation and exchanged cards,” says Harris, 39, a Fortune 500 executive.

Though they kept in touch, the couple didn’t go on their first date until seven months later, when Harris asked Redwood, 31, president and co-founder of Signature Media Group Speakers, out to dinner. “We went to Sunda (110 W. Illinois) and shut the restaurant down,” Harris laughs. “After that, we never stopped talking.”

This June, the pair flew to Sandals Negril Beach Resort and Spa (Sandals.com) in Jamaica for a tropical four-day wedding, complete with bonfires and raging pool parties. The true showstopper, though, was Redwood’s friend Reginald Cotton, who, during the reception, grabbed the mic to sing Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.” “He had a pair of sunglasses on looking like Stevie Wonder, singing in the middle of the dance floor,” Harris laughs. “We were surrounded by our friends and family — I’ll never forget that.”
