Millie Bobby Brown, known for her iconic role as Eleven in Stranger Things, recently delighted fans by sharing a series of dreamy wedding photos with her longtime boyfriend, Jake Bongiovi. The couple, who exchanged vows in May 2024, gave the world a sneak peek into their glamorous and heartfelt celebration on October 2. The event had a special nod to Brown's acting career, as the ceremony was officiated by none other than Matthew Modine, who portrayed the enigmatic Dr. Martin Brenner, also known as 'Papa', in Stranger Things. This personal touch added an extra layer of sentimentality, blending Brown’s personal and professional worlds in a beautifully symbolic way.
Jake Bongiovi, the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, also took to social media to share previously unseen moments from their big day. One of the standout images from the collection captured the unforgettable scene of Matthew Modine officiating the wedding, marking a memorable and meaningful connection to the couple’s journey. Bongiovi’s heartfelt caption, “Forever and always, your husband,” showcased the depth of their commitment, while Brown echoed his words in her own Instagram post, declaring herself, “Forever and always, your wife.” The love and affection between the pair were palpable in every photo, radiating joy and happiness.
Brown was nothing short of radiant in her custom lace gown designed by Galia Lahav, a striking piece that combined elegance with a touch of classic romance. The gown featured intricate lace details and a long train, highlighting her timeless beauty. Meanwhile, Bongiovi opted for a sleek, sophisticated Tom Ford suit, exuding a polished, modern look that perfectly complemented his bride's stunning attire. Together, they made a picture-perfect couple, their wedding style reflecting both their personalities and their strong bond.
Their wedding photographer, Sandra von Riekhoff, captured the magic of the day, later sharing a stunning monochrome shot from the event. In her post, Riekhoff revealed that the couple's wedding took place at the beautiful venue of Cetinale, a historic villa in Italy, which also served as a filming location for the hit series Succession. The picturesque location, steeped in history and surrounded by lush gardens, provided the perfect backdrop for the intimate ceremony. Riekhoff described the event as a “relatively bijou collection of friends and family,” offering a glimpse into the exclusivity of the gathering, which was designed and orchestrated by the talented team at Camilla Boniek Events.
The couple’s engagement in 2023 sparked significant media attention, particularly due to their young age, but the strength of their relationship has consistently been evident in their public appearances and social media posts. Their wedding marks the next chapter in their love story, a journey that has been followed closely by fans and the media alike. Despite their youth, both Brown and Bongiovi have shown a level of maturity and commitment that has silenced many of the critics who initially questioned the timing of their engagement.

The film, based on a graphic novel, explores a dystopian future and promises to showcase Brown in a complex and action-packed role, adding another impressive credit to her rapidly growing resume.
