14Scarlett, but Lucy made me realise that
having a girlfriend was the missing part
of our set-up. The three of us are a
family now. Lucy is great for me but
she’s also good for Scarlett, they have
a lovely relationship.Do you want to start a family
together in the future?
Lucy: At the start of our relationship
Ryan told me that he couldn’t see
himself having any more children. It
wasn’t something I pushed at the time
because I wasn’t ready to have kids and I
assumed that he would change his mind
one day. It’s something we’ve since had
to have an adult conversation about
and we’ve agreed we will try for children
when the time is right.
Ryan: I definitely want children with Lucy
but I don’t think it’ll happen for
a few years.Lucy, why is Ryan the one for you?
I am very work orientated and can be
quite rigid but Ryan makes me more
spontaneous. He’ll come home from
work and be like: ‘Shall we go to Ibiza
this weekend?’ There’s never a dull
moment with him and I think I needed
someone like that in my life. We never
stop laughing when we’re together.
Ryan: It’s a case of opposites attract.
She settles me down and I make her
more spontaneous.You both have a lot to thank Bear
Grylls for!
Lucy: We should probably invite him to
the wedding [laughs]!
Ryan: We saw each other at our worst
on Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls,
the show we met on. We were starvinghungry, stressed out and couldn’t wash
our hair or brush our teeth and yet we
still fell for each other. It gave us an
amazing foundation for our relationship.Ryan, did you ask Lucy’s dad for her
hand in marriage?
Lucy: This is a whole story in itself!
Ryan: I asked him at 4am during a night
out at Amnesia in Ibiza. After a few
drinks it seemed like the perfect time
to ask him. The next time I saw him I
checked that he remembered!Will there be an engagement party?
Lucy: Just a small one... [laughs].
Ryan: We’ve got 300 people coming!
We’ve hired out a boat on the Thames
and we’re going to make it Italian
themed. We’re going all out.Will any of the Corrie cast be there?
Ryan: Sue Cleaver [who plays Eileen
Grimshaw] is coming, as is Brooke
Vincent [who plays Sophie Webster].
And hopefully some of the others can
make it. I’m really close to a lot of the
cast, they’re like family.What sort of wedding would you like?
Lucy: Given the amount of people we
have coming to the engagement party,
I think we can safely say it’s going to be
big! At the moment we’re torn between
doing it in the UK or abroad.
Ryan: I’d like to get married next year
but it’ll depend on if we can find a
venue we love that’s available. We want
to enjoy the engagement; we’re not in a
massive rush.Will your brothers be your best
men, Ryan?THIS PAGE: RYAN WEARS TOP BY RIVER ISLAND. LUCY WEARS JUMPTSUIT BY NAEEM KHAN; AND EARRINGS BY LARA HEEMS. FACING PAGE: RYAN WE
