The former 'Geordie Shore' star is very happy with her boyfriend John Noble, and though they're not yet engaged, she's already started planning their big day and is keen to embrace her partner's traveller heritage.
She told Closer magazine "John's got a traveller heritage so I'm going the full nine years.
"I want butterflies and LEDs on my dress. I've already been in touch with Thelma Madine - she's buzzing."
After a string of failed relationships, the 29-year-old star couldn't be happier with John, who she first dated when she was 21.
She said: "I just can't imagine why I was ever with anyone else. He's always been the right man - it was just the wrong time. Now it's the right time. He ticks every box.
"I know I'm going to marry him but I'm not in any hurry. We're in a cute place. Every stage when you're in love is exciting and perfect - and I love this one so much. But I do want it to happen with him."
And the brunette beauty's contentment in her personal life has changed her approach to diet, which has helped stabilise her weight.
She said: "I really enjoy meals out with John - which is important in every relationship, so I've had to relax myself slightly in that respect and it has led to a more relaxed approach to my body. But I feel like that's healthy. Everyone knows when you get in a relationship you do have to relax your eating habits slightly.
"If I'm in the house on my own and there's nothing in, I have a protein shake, but if John's there, he's like, 'Put on your clothes, we'll go out to eat at Zizzi's. It becomes a thing. You schedule your life around eating when you're in a relationship... I love my life and I'm not prepared to sacrifice that for being 7lbs lighter. I don't want to be a size six bride. Life's too short."
