The devastated 30-year-old paid tribute to the former Mr Scotland on the same day they should have been celebrating their marriage , the Daily Record reports.
Elaine, from Bishopton, Renfrewshire, said: “Davie was literally the most amazing person I have ever known.
“He’s my best friend, love of my life and soulmate. Don’t know what I’m going to do without him.
“Today I was going to be his wife. This will always be the case in my heart. I’m completely broken.”

The couple had celebrated their impending marriage at the plush Chardon d’Or Restaurant in Glasgow on Wednesday night.
But Davie died at Bishopton Railway Station in Renfrewshire shortly after 4.30pm on Thursday.
It is unclear how he ended up on the tracks and a police investigation is being carried out.
Stunned friends of the couple – many of whom would have been preparing to celebrate their wedding with them – posted messages of support on social media yesterday.

Davie and Elaine had first met at the gym where Elaine worked in 2011.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: “BTP officers were called to the railway line near Bishopton Railway Station on Thursday August 18, 2016, after a report that a person had been struck by a train.
“Officers from the BTP attended the incident, which was reported to BTP at 1636hrs and is currently being treated as non-suspicious.”
A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
