Just one week after Jennifer Lawrence, 28, spoke publicly about her engagement to art dealer boyfriend Cooke Maroney, 34, for the very first time, the notoriously private actress has revealed details about her impending wedding, and the bachelorette party that left her in tears.

When asked about Maroney’s proposal, which took place in early February, Lawrence confessed “it was a very, very easy decision” while walking the red carpet for the X-Men: Dark Phoenix premiere in Los Angeles on June 4.

Now, the star has gone into further detail during an appearance on the Naked with Catt Sadler podcast. Revealing she started with the basic questions – “How do I feel? Is he nice? Is he kind?” – she confessed: “It’s just — this is the one, I know that sounds really stupid but he’s just, he’s — you know. He’s the greatest person I’ve ever met, so I feel very honored to become a Maroney.”

The pair, who began dating in June 2018, hosted an intimate engagement party for friends and family in May. For the occasion, Lawrence opted for a pink silk chiffon dress from L.Wells Bridal. Since then, the loved-up couple have been spotted enjoying low-key date nights across New York City.

“I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like, ‘I’m ready to get married,’” Lawrence revealed on the podcast, admitting that marriage was not originally something she predicted was on the cards at the time.

“I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him,” she continued. “We wanted to marry each other, we wanted to commit fully… He’s my best friend. I want to legally bind him to me forever. And fortunately the paperwork exists for such a thing. You find your favorite person on the planet and you’re like, ‘You can’t leave!’”

Touching on her bachelorette party, the actress said that as she had originally not wanted to host a celebration, when she finally decided that she did, it was such late notice that few were available to attend.

“Nobody was available because it was last minute,” she shared. “And then I started crying. I was like, ‘I don’t even know why I’m crying. I didn’t know that I wanted a bachelorette party. I guess I just feel pathetic.’ [Cooke] was like, ‘Oh my god, you don’t need to feel pathetic.’”

While we know little about her impending wedding, Lawrence did confirm she’s already said yes to the dress, and selected the location for the big day. “I’ve been in a good place,” she said. “I haven’t been neurotic about [wedding planning]. I’m like too lazy to be neurotic. I saw a dress I liked and I was like, ‘That’s the dress.’ I saw a venue and I was like, ‘Cool, we got the venue.’”

Watch this space, as we have a feeling this wedding will be a star-studded ceremony you won’t want to miss.
