The news agency said the bride had prepared at least four wedding dresses for the big day. Brown wore a Galia Lahav square-neck lace corset dress for the ceremony. She wore her hair in a high bun and completed her look with a long veil. Meanwhile, Jake Bongiovi wore a Tom Ford tuxedo with a classic bow tie. The day before the wedding, the bride wore a tiered Valentino 1997 dress for the reception, while the groom wore a Banana Republic tuxedo.
The vow exchange area was designed with an archway made of white roses, baby’s breath, hydrangeas and many other flowers. The aisle was also decorated with large bouquets in the wedding’s main black and white colors. Actor Matthew Modine, 65 – who plays Dr. Martin Brenner in Stranger Things – was the officiator.

In an interview with Glamour in October 2023, Brown said her views on love changed after meeting Bongiovi. The actress had many unhealthy relationships and did not dare to speak her mind when she was in love with her exes. She said: “When I met him, I could freely say what I wanted. He supported that and I also loved myself when we were together.”
Brown also praised Bongiovi for having qualities she always wanted in her future husband, even though she had never thought about marriage before. “After falling in love with Bongiovi, I realized that I didn’t need to be a typical wife for him. He didn’t want that either, he just wanted me to live the life I wanted, and to hold hands and walk the whole road ahead,” she said.
Jake Bongiovi was born in 2002, the third son of rock singer Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea Hurley. He was a student at a university in New York. Unlike his father, Jake Bongiovi is not interested in music. On his personal page, he said he wants to become a model or actor.
