Taylor was working in Cyprus when she met Ellie, who was on holiday and had just lost her shoe. Afterwards, they got chatting and instantly made a connection. Taylor comments, “When we left the bar, I realised we hadn't exchanged contact details, so I trawled through Facebook trying to fi nd Ellie among around 75,000 people. Eventually, I found her, added her, sent her a message, and we stayed up until 4 am messaging. We met one final time before she went home, and I knew she was the one. “Once she got home, we played a game called 'Odds On' that ended up with her agreeing to come back out to Cyprus to visit and stay with me – and it worked! Two weeks later, she came back and we spent seven days together – we've literally been inseparable ever since!” Ellie proposed at Disney World, Florida, in front of the castle, as this had always been Taylor's dream. And just like that, their new chapter began. Discover the wedding in our August/September issue, available to download for free now, where Taylor shares details about their special day.
