Love Island Star Francesca Allen Celebrates Lavish Monaco Wedding

Love Island alum Francesca Allen recently celebrated her marriage to Ed Crossan in a lavish ceremony held in Monaco.

Allen, who gained fame on the fifth season of the ITV2 series in 2019, exchanged vows with Crossan, 36, after a legal ceremony in London the previous month. The couple, who confirmed their relationship in November 2021, had been engaged for five of the six years they have known each other as family friends.

The wedding festivities in Monaco saw Allen joined by bridesmaids including fellow Love Island stars Elma Pazar and Georgia Steel. Allen donned a dramatic Eden Aharon gown for the occasion, featuring lace cups, a structured corset, and extended dramatic hips over a sheer lace slip. Her bridesmaids wore olive green slip dresses.

The reception featured lively celebrations, with clips shared on social media showing the newlyweds arriving in a golf cart. Allen was seen dancing on her chair and taking shots at the dinner table as guests waved napkins in the air. She captioned a post, "Reception of dreams!!!!"

Allen's sister, Claudia, also attended and stood out in a pink gown, differing from the bridesmaids' attire. Crossan, who previously dated reality personality Amber Turner, is described as a family friend of Allen. He works in his father's company, Powerday, where he is a director overseeing business development.

Allen previously shared that her relationship with Crossan developed over time, acknowledging a period where they were friends before their romance became official. The couple became Instagram official in November 2021 and announced their engagement just seven weeks later. Allen explained that she kept their relationship private initially to protect it before they were certain of their commitment.
