It seems Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi had an absolute blast at their May 2024 wedding — but there were a lot of details.
“I didn’t stress. I wasn’t stressed. I’m just a planner,” Brown, 21, said during an interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast released on Wednesday, March 12. “I’m not yelling at people, I’m not bridezilla. I just knew every second of that schedule, like every second.”
Brown explained that she was so clued in to every moment of her and Bongiovi’s Tuscany wedding weekend that she was able to remember all the details, especially her six-minute-long vows.
“People were like, ‘When’s it going to end?’ I’m an actor, I cannot help it, I had to say everything I felt,” Brown recalled. “I was like, ‘And one more thing.’”

After the Stranger Things star exchanged vows with Bongiovi, 22, she let go of the reins and just enjoyed the celebration. But their first dance might have been the star of the show.
“We did a six-minute choreographed routine,” she said. “I can’t believe Jake actually did it. We did a Grease medley, so it started with ‘You’re the One That I Want,’ it went into ‘Summer Nights,’ it went into ‘We Stick Together.’ … We dressed as, like, Sandy and Danny, but it was epic.”
Brown added, “That was the only thing that I looked at Jake, I was like, ‘If you let me down on this.’ We [had] been practicing for a year and a half. We went to dance lessons. It was very strict for me. I’ve always wanted to do that.”
The actress said that Bongiovi — the son of Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley — ended up loving it.
“We did not miss one beat,” Brown continued. “I do not regret that one bit. It was like we put on a show. He also is an actor, so we just loved being able to do that for everyone and perform.”

Brown and Bongiovi have been together since 2021, and he proposed in April 2023. However, she knew he was The One after they officially moved in together.
“We started living this day-to-day life, I thought, ‘Oh, I really don’t think I could ever see you as anything else. I don’t wanna be with anyone else ever again. I don’t wanna date, I don’t wanna meet anyone, like, I want you,’” she recalled, noting that having more serious conversations — about politics and children — with Bongiovi is what really sealed the deal.
“We start talking about really, really bigger things that I’d obviously never spoken about. I’m already very young, so I’ve never spoken about that with boys anyway. To be able to even think about those things, I was like, ‘S—. OK, maybe I do wanna be with you forever,’” Brown added. “When he proposed, I was like, ‘It makes sense.’ Everything aligns.”
