Several months following her engagement to Bongiovi, Brown shared insights into her forthcoming nuptials. Speaking with Women's Wear Daily (WWD) in September, she expressed her delight in the wedding planning journey, describing it as "so fun."
"It’s such an exciting time in my life,” Brown told WWD, later revealing that both she and her fiancé wished to keep the particulars of their wedding day private. "I think probably drawing the curtains, just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once."
Brown continued, "And to have everyone's opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me," adding, "I feel it's important to keep those things, those small precious moments in life, really close to your chest."
How Millie Bobby Brown Knew That Jake Bongiovi Was 'The One'
In August, Brown disclosed that she had an instant feeling that Bongiovi was "the one" from the moment they first spoke.
"I ran to my mum and said, ‘I really, really like him!'" the actress told The Sunday Times. "After we met, we knew we never wanted to leave each other's side. You can't pinpoint why [someone is 'the one'], it's just the feeling of knowing that that's the person you want to spend the rest of your time with."
