If you didn't watch the second series of Love Island featuring the likes of Cara de la Hoyde, Nathan Massey, Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen, you are seriously missing out and need to binge watch the full series on Netflix before the new one starts in June.
If you did watch it, you'll know that series two runners-up, Olivia and Alex, are due to get married soon! The couple, who announced their engagement just a few months after leaving the villa in 2016, will marry later this year.
Now, with just months to go before her big day, Olivia has spoken to OK! Online to reveal which of her Love Island co-stars will be involved in her bridal party.
Speaking to the publication, Olivia admitted that Tina Stinnes and Cara de la Hoyde will be her bridesmaids, as well as some of her other friends. She said, "I chose my old friends, and Tina and Cara were the ones who were there for me so much in Love Island, and they know Alex really well as well, so it was an easy decision for me.”
Speaking about the incredibly tough decision to choose her bridesmaids, Olivia explained, “It’s as hard to pick my bridesmaids as it is, and I know Meghan Markle didn’t choose any friends to be bridesmaids, and I think the girl has got the right idea!”
Meanwhile, after finishing in second place behind Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey on Love Island 2016, Alex popped the question to his girlfriend in December 2016 during a romantic trip to New York.
Taking to Instagram to express her shock, Olivia showed off her stunning ring as she wrote, 'I have no words for how happy I am. My fiancé my everything @ab_bowen this was magical. So magical.' sic
Alex later shared another photo of the stunning ring, and captioned the shot with, 'She said yes 💗🗽 @oliviadbuck'.
Now, after months of planning, it looks like things are finally coming together for the couple's big day... they've even booked the honeymoon!
Taking to Twitter last week, Olivia wrote, 'Literally cried booking our honeymoon. 👍🏼 what is wrong with me!!! Sri Lanka & The Maldives booked for our honeymoon for two weeks. HEAVEN @ab_bowen07 😭❤️' . sic
