Jennifer Lawrence was a bit of an anxious bride. When she looked back at her 2019 wedding to husband Cooke Maroney during a chat with E! News at the 2024 Golden Globes, she admitted she thought being a bride was “awful.”
Jennifer Lawrence Says Being a Bride was “Stressful”
Her own experience as a bride came with worries — primarily that her guests were enjoying themselves at all times.
“It’s so stressful,” Lawrence said of the wedding experience. “You’re not having fun. You’re just like, ‘Is that person having fun?'”
“I’ll never forget—I was freaking out about the guests being cold,” she said of her wedding, which took place in the fall in Newport, Rhode Island. “And all of my friends were lying; they’re like, ‘Nobody’s cold, nobody’s cold, everything’s fine, everything’s fine.'”

Meanwhile, mom Karen Lawrence didn’t hesitate to tell the bride the truth. “My mom was like, ‘It’s freezing out there; your grandmother almost died.”
Bridal Worries Made Lawrence Ask Robert DeNiro to Leave Her Rehearsal Dinner
It wasn’t just the day of her wedding where Jennifer Lawrence felt frantic. She also did her share of worrying at her rehearsal dinner, especially when she saw Robert DeNiro making his way around the room.
“I looked over and I saw Bob, who doesn’t know anybody and he’s kind of wandering around, and I immediately was like, ‘No, this isn’t what he wants to be doing. I don’t want him here.'”

Lawrence recalled feeling like her famous co-star was out of place at that moment. The bride-to-be “went over and whispered” to the actor, giving him an out for the night.
“I was like, ‘Go home,’ and he was nice. He like talked to my parents and was polite—but I was like, ‘Go.'”

DeNiro eventually left at his Silver Linings Playbook co-star’s urging, which “genuinely made me feel better,” Lawrence admitted.
