Francesca Allen Marries Ed Crossan in Lavish Monaco Wedding
The 'Love Island' star exchanged vows in a haute couture gown, surrounded by co-stars as bridesmaids.
Francesca Allen, known for her appearance on season five of 'Love Island,' married Ed Crossan in a lavish ceremony in Monaco. The couple, who had a legal ceremony in London last month, celebrated their union with friends and family, including several of Allen's 'Love Island' co-stars who served as bridesmaids.
Allen, 30, wore a dramatic haute couture gown featuring a corseted bodice, lace cups, and a structured design with extended hips over a sheer lace slip. Her bridesmaids, including fellow 'Love Island' stars Elma Pazar and Georgia Steel, wore matching olive green slip dresses. Allen's sister, Claudia, stood out in a pink strapless gown.
The wedding celebrations included details such as platters of cigarettes and personalized matches, as seen in videos shared on social media. Guests were seen using fans to cope with the warm weather.
Allen and Crossan, 36, have known each other for years through their families before their relationship turned romantic. They officially confirmed their relationship in November 2021 after sharing holiday pictures from Dubai. Crossan is the vice chairman of his father's company, Powerday.
Allen revealed on social media that their relationship developed gradually, initially from close friendships. "We would just FaceTime every day. We never got intimate, it was always just my friends with his friends and we would have the best times out together," she explained. "There just came one point where we both just said shall we try this out and now look at usssss haha!"
Seven weeks after going Instagram official, Allen announced their engagement. She accepted Crossan's proposal at Home House in Marylebone. Allen later shared that they had been dating for 18 months prior to the engagement, keeping their relationship private to protect it.
