Ryan and Lucy gave us all a big clue as to what their big day could be like during a chat with OK! Magazine back in August 2018 when they revealed their dream wedding plans.
Ryan said: “We’ll have a massive wedding. It would be huge and one big party. It would be bigger than my brother Adam’s!”
For that reason, we’re expecting something pretty spectacular. Perhaps their Italian proposal could be a clue… might the pair decide to return for their big day and get married in Italy?
The guest list is expected to be pretty star-studded, too. Ryan’s brothers, ex-Love Islander Scott Thomas and Hollyoaks actor Adam are assumed to be in attendance, plus Lucy’s former The Only Way is Essex co-star and best friend, Lydia Bright.
