Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown has finally shared enchanting details about her fairytale wedding to Jake Bongiovi, months after their secret marriage ceremony. The young star revealed intimate moments from both their private family affair and subsequent grand celebration in Italy during a recent podcast appearance.
Raye's Magical Performance Steals the Show
During her appearance on the Dish podcast, Brown disclosed that British singer-songwriter Raye made their wedding reception truly unforgettable with a live performance. The artist performed during the emotional daddy-daughter dance between Millie and her father Robert, creating what the actress described as an amazing and epic moment.
"Raye performed, which was amazing," Brown expressed enthusiastically. "She did all Frank Sinatra, it was amazing, so epic." The musical performance added a magical touch to the already special celebration, making the wedding day even more memorable for the couple and their guests.
Elaborate Dance Routines Define Celebration
Music and dance played a central role in the wedding festivities, reflecting Brown's lifelong passion for performance. The actress explained that growing up with dance routines at every family gathering made it essential to incorporate great music and dancing into her wedding celebration.
The couple surprised guests with an elaborate six-minute dance performance inspired by Brown's favorite movie, Grease 2. "When Jake proposed, I was like, 'We have to learn a dance routine... we'll remember it forever,'" Brown shared. The original plan involved a Dirty Dancing performance, but the iconic lift was deemed too risky for the big day.
Brown laughed while recalling guests' reactions, saying "People were like, 'Oh my god, you can tell she's an actor.'" She described the moment as "so much fun" and "amazing," showcasing the couple's chemistry and shared love for performance.
Intimate Ceremony Precedes Grand Celebration
The wedding journey began with a low-key, romantic ceremony involving only their closest family members. This intimate affair was followed months later by a grand celebration hosted in Italy, where all the musical and dance performances took place.
Brown and Bongiovi, who is the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, managed to keep their initial marriage ceremony completely private before opting for a larger celebration with friends and extended family. The actress continues to balance her personal life with her professional career, as she prepares to appear in the fifth season of Stranger Things.
