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

Francesca Allen, known for her appearance on the fifth season of Love Island, married Ed Crossan in a lavish ceremony in Monaco over the weekend. Allen, 30, and Crossan, 36, exchanged vows in an extravagant ceremony overlooking the ocean.

The influencer shared glimpses of the picturesque day on Instagram, including moments of her preparing in a white lace silk slip dress and matching robe. Her bridesmaids, including former co-star Georgia Steel, wore green satin gowns, while the groomsmen were dressed in tuxedos.

Allen later changed into a strapless wedding dress featuring a lace-up corset and a long train. The ceremony took place at a cliff-edge venue with musical accompaniment from seven violinists, two cello players, and a pianist.

The influencer and her new husband Ed, 36, looked more loved-up than ever as they said 'I do' in an extravagant ceremony overlooking the ocean.

The couple officially married in an intimate ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall in August. For that occasion, Allen wore a floor-length pillar gown with a bow at the chest and a wide-brimmed hat. Crossan wore a light blue suit.

Crossan, a waste disposal mogul, has known Allen for years through their families. He is the vice chairman of his father's company, Powerday.

Allen and Crossan confirmed their relationship in November 2021, sharing holiday pictures from Dubai. Seven weeks after going Instagram official, Allen announced their engagement. She revealed they had been dating for 18 months prior to the proposal but had kept the relationship private.

Allen stated she kept Crossan off social media initially because he is a private individual and she wanted to ensure the relationship was solidified before publicizing it. She noted that the press had sometimes speculated about the duration of their relationship inaccurately.
