On Wednesday, Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi gave fans a beautiful sneak peek into their stunning wedding celebration.
The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony back in May, shared a series of enchanting photos on Instagram, showcasing their special day at the picturesque Villa Cetinale in Italy.
The snapshots capture the couple exchanging vows under a breathtaking floral arch, with 20-year-old Millie looking radiant in her custom Galia Lahav gown.
Heartfelt Captions and Special Moments
In her heartfelt post, Millie captioned one of the photos, “Forever and always, your wife,” while Jake, 22, echoed her sentiment with, “Forever and always, your husband.”
One particularly touching image included a moment shared with his father, rock legend Jon Bon Jovi.
Fans were also surprised to discover that the officiant for the ceremony was none other than Millie’s “Stranger Things” co-star, Matthew Modine.
Comments from followers expressed their emotional reactions, with one saying, “Not Matthew officiating the wedding—I’m gonna sob,” while another called it “the sweetest thing ever.”
Stunning Wedding Attire
For her special day, Millie dazzled in a stunning gown designed by Galia Lahav, which she complemented with a delicate veil from Monvieve that mirrored the gown’s intricate details.
She opted for a refined look with minimal jewelry and makeup, later changing into an elegant off-the-shoulder satin dress for the evening festivities.
Jake looked sharp in an ivory tuxedo jacket paired with sleek black pants, completing his outfit with a crisp white shirt and a stylish black bow tie.
Earlier this year, Jon Bon Jovi confirmed he would be performing at the wedding, expressing his excitement when asked on the red carpet at the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year gala.
A Family Celebration
In May, Jon shared the news of his son’s marriage during an appearance on BBC’s The One Show, gushing about the couple: “They’re great. They’re absolutely fantastic. It was a very small family wedding, and the bride looked gorgeous, and Jake is happy as can be.”
Just days after their intimate ceremony, Millie and Jake were spotted enjoying a romantic getaway in the Hamptons, both proudly sporting their wedding bands.
Millie even gave fans a closer look at her stunning ring through a beauty routine video shared on Instagram.
Embracing Newlywed Life
The couple embraced their newlywed status during a celebratory trip to Universal Studios in Florida, where they shared their joy on Instagram.
Millie sported playful attire, including shorts that read “wifey” and a hat that said “wife of the party.”
In September 2023, she shared on the Today show how the wedding planning was going, stating, “It has not been stressful at all for me. Jake is very involved. He’s very helpful during the whole process.”
She noted that the day was intended to be intimate for both of them, and they were both thrilled about it.
Their Love Story
Reflecting on their relationship, Millie expressed how connected they were from the start, stating, “After we met, we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side.”
She elaborated, “You can’t pinpoint why someone is ‘the one’; it’s just the feeling of knowing that’s the person you want to spend the rest of your time with.”
The couple first sparked romance rumors in June 2021, when Jake posted a selfie of them together with a simple caption: “bff <3.”
Public Appearances and Engagement
The lovebirds were spotted out and about in New York City shortly after the selfie, enjoying a coffee date while holding hands.
Millie made their relationship Instagram official in November 2021, sharing a sweet moment over tea in London.
The couple made their red carpet debut in March 2022 at the BAFTA Film Awards, and they became engaged in April 2023 after dating for nearly two years.
Millie shared a beautiful black-and-white photo of the engagement, where Jake wrapped his arms around her, and she proudly displayed her diamond ring.
In her post, she referenced lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “Lover,” saying, “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey; I want ’em all.”
Jake also shared photos from their romantic beach engagement shoot, captioning one with the word “Forever.”
What’s Next for the Couple?
As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, fans are excited to see what the future holds for Millie and Jake.
Their journey together has just begun, and with their love and support for each other, it’s bound to be a wonderful adventure.
