Love Island Star Francesca Allen Marries Ed Crossan in Lavish Monaco Ceremony

Francesca Allen, known for her appearance on the fifth season of ITV2's Love Island, married Ed Crossan in a lavish ceremony in Monaco over the weekend. The couple, who had been engaged for five years, celebrated their union with an extravagant ceremony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Allen, 30, shared glimpses of the picturesque day on Instagram, including moments as she prepared for the wedding in a white lace silk slip dress and matching robe. Her bridesmaids, including former Love Island co-star Georgia Steel, wore green strappy satin gowns, while the 11 groomsmen were dressed in tuxedos.

The bride later changed into her strapless wedding dress, which featured a lace-up corset and a dramatic train. She walked down the aisle accompanied by seven violinists, two cello players, and a pianist. Her husband, Ed Crossan, 36, a waste disposal mogul, was seen in a white tuxedo.

The couple officially tied the knot in August in a more intimate ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall. For that occasion, Allen wore a floor-length gown with a pillar shape and a bow at the chest, paired with a wide-brimmed hat. Crossan wore a light blue suit. They departed the venue in a vintage Mercedes with their dog, Stormi.

Allen and Crossan, who have known each other for years through their families, confirmed their relationship in November 2021. Allen revealed that they had been dating for 18 months before Crossan proposed at Home House, a members' club in Marylebone. She had kept their relationship private, stating she didn't want to put him in the spotlight until she was certain he was the one and did not want others to
