Love Island stars Jess Shears and Dom Lever have tied the knot after a whirlwind one-year relationship

They met on the show last year, and after a rocky start built the foundations for lasting love on the outside world.

Marrying in an intimate ceremony on the Greek Island of Mykonos last week, Jess and Dom are the second Love Island couple to get hitched after Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen made things official last month.

“I always thought it was a cliché when people said, ‘when you meet the one, you know’, but it’s true,” said Jess of their short engagement. “I knew we’d be together forever from very early on. I’m so excited to be Mrs Lever and to spend the rest of my life waking up next to Dom.”

“We really wanted an intimate wedding and we knew we couldn't have had that in the UK,” Dom told OK! Magazine, where the wedding photos will appear in this week’s issue. “Going abroad meant we didn't have any pressure to invite every Tom, Dick and Harry.”

The decision to keep things small also meant that none of the couples’ fellow Love Islanders got an invite, even though there had been a lot of speculation in the run up to their big day.

“I know there were reports that Olivia was going to be a bridesmaid but that was never the plan,” said Jess. “We’re planning a party in the UK when were home so we’ll invite Olivia Attwood, Sam Gowland and Chloe Crowhurst to that.”
