Weddings are notorious for inducing stress, and when you add an A-list VIP and Hollywood icon to the guest list, the pressure can skyrocket. Just ask Jennifer Lawrence, who found herself in such a scenario during her nuptials. Lawrence and her partner, art dealer Cooke Maroney, exchanged vows in October 2019 after a whirlwind romance that began when they were introduced by mutual friend Laura in June 2018. Despite the brief courtship, their commitment was evident, with the couple keeping their relationship private and low-key until their big day.
The wedding preparations were taken with utmost seriousness by Lawrence, who, some would say, approached the occasion with a touch of Bridezilla-like fervor. Her wedding dress, a creation of the renowned fashion house Dior, was the center of attention. Designed by Dior’s top team, the gown was guarded with the utmost secrecy, reflecting the importance attached to the event. Among the 150 guests were notable figures like Adele, Emma Stone, Ashley Olsen, Amy Schumer, and even Kris Jenner. However, one famous face, Robert De Niro, found himself unexpectedly excluded from Lawrence’s rehearsal dinner due to the actress’s escalating anxiety levels.
In an interview with E! News, Lawrence candidly discussed the stress she experienced during her wedding festivities. Despite their professional collaborations in films like “Silver Linings Playbook,” “American Hustle,” and “Joy,” Lawrence felt it necessary to discreetly advise De Niro to excuse himself from the rehearsal dinner, recognizing his discomfort amidst unfamiliar faces. De Niro gracefully accepted her suggestion, later expressing that he enjoyed the event and felt no discomfort, despite the brief duration of his attendance.
However, De Niro’s exclusion was just one aspect of Lawrence’s wedding-related challenges. She admitted to feeling overwhelmed and constantly worried about her guests’ comfort, even amidst their reassurances of enjoyment. Despite her concerns, Lawrence found solace in her husband, Cooke Maroney, with whom she cherishes mundane activities like grocery shopping, finding joy in the simplicity of shared experiences. Moreover, Lawrence’s journey into motherhood, with the birth of her son Cy in April 2022, has marked a profound new chapter in her life, imbuing her with a sense of renewal and boundless love.
