There's not a whole lot we know about Jennifer Lawrence's relationship, but what we do know
has certainly piqued our interest.
A quickie engagement.
A potentially ghostly wedding ceremony.
And what about that wedding dress?
Let's unearth some strange things about Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney's marriage.
A ghostly ceremony?
After a speedy engagement, Jennifer Lawrence finally tied the knot with her art dealer
beau Cooke Maroney on October 19th, 2019.
"He's just the best person I've ever met in my whole life.
It was a very easy decision."
According to People, the stars exchanged vows in front of 150 people, including A-listers
like Kris Jenner, Adele, Emma Stone, Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, Cameron Diaz, and possibly
even a ghost or two.
That's right - the wedding took place on the coast of Rhode Island at the posh - and possibly
haunted - Belcourt of Newport.
You heard that right.
In 2013, the owner of the property told The New York Times:
"There were energies and entities, some not pleasant.
I had a shaman perform ceremonies.
We did a major cleansing, energy-wise.
There was a lot of heaviness, but we took care of that.
Now the house has a different vibration."
Well... we're certainly glad to hear that.
At least this vaguely spooky detail didn't put a damper on the event:
"We're told the newlyweds were the last to leave the party.
They shut it down at 5:30 in the morning.
Good for them!"
The wedding dress
Let's be real: Next to the bride, the dress is the most important wedding guest.
Despite JLaw's notoriously low key vibe, her wedding dress was anything but.
Jennifer Lawrence chose esteemed designer Dior to make her custom bridal gown - and
the garment was really given the royal treatment.
According to People, Dior's entire design team flew into Rhode Island a day ahead of
the wedding.
A source told the publication:
"[They] held her dress in a private guest room at the Hotel Viking."
You heard that correctly.
"Boom - deal with that."
Love comes quickly
Before the actress settled down with Cooke Maroney, she had a pretty dismal perspective
on relationships.
"Been there."
In a 2015 interview with Vogue, the star admitted,
"No one ever asks me out.
I am lonely every Saturday night.
Guys are so mean to me.
I know where it’s coming from, I know they’re trying to establish dominance, but it hurts
my feelings.
I’m just a girl who wants you to be nice to me."
In the same interview, she said,
"I feel like if I find that one person who I want to spend the rest of my life with,
who I want to be the father of my children, that I would absolutely not f--- it up.
But I'm also not banking on that."
Well, maybe she should have banked on it.
She'd be an even wealthier woman.
Bridesmaids?
In her 2016 Vanity Fair cover story, Lawrence admitted that she'd been a bridesmaid a whopping
four times.
She told the publication:
"All of my friends are getting married and having babies."
Though she likes weddings - and even teared up at Amy Schumer's nuptials - she clearly
hated the thought of ever donning a matching dress again.
As she told Vanity Fair,
"There needs to be a bridesmaids' union.
It's horrendous.
If anyone asks me again, I'm going to say, 'No.
That part of my life is over.
I appreciate the ask.'
If I do ever get married, I don't think I will have bridesmaids.
How can I rank my friends?"
It's still unclear whether Lawrence changed her mind in the end, but Star reported that:
"The Oscar winner is struggling to find female friends to fill out her bridal party."
Really, though?
We find that rather hard to believe considering Lawrence's long-standing bonds with celebs
like Emma Stone and Schumer, and all the aforementioned guests in attendance.
Odds are, she simply wanted to fly solo.
Love in the fast lane
Apparently, when you've found the right person, you know - even if you've only been dating
for eight months.
According to People, the relationship between Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney started
in June 2018, and Maroney popped the question the following February.
Although it's unclear exactly when he proposed, Lawrence's people confirmed the news to Fox
as soon as she was seen rocking a giant sparkler on her finger.
Lawrence was clearly over the moon about the development - if not exactly eager to talk
about it.
"Congrats on your engagement."
"Thank you very much."
"How thrilled are you for the wedding?"
"Very excited."
"Yeah and why is he definitely the one???"
"Ummmmm… he's really hot."
Lawrence's romance with Maroney moved surprisingly fast, especially considering she dated her
X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult for four years.
The actress opened up about why she ultimately decided to tie the knot in an episode of the
Naked with Catt Sadler podcast:
"I don't know, I started with the basics: How do I feel?
Is he nice?
Is he kind?"
Going on to call Maroney "the one," Lawrence gushed:
"He's the greatest person I've ever met, so I feel very honored to become a Maroney."
A secret wedding?
We know Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney had a lavish wedding ceremony in October 2019,
but in September, rumors floated around that the pair had already secretly wed.
According to Page Six, the actress triggered the tabloids when she was spotted at NYC's
marriage bureau with Maroney.
The tabloid even reported that
"Maroney [seemed] to be covering his ring finger on his left hand outside the building."
The person behind these rumors was reportedly an anonymous onlooker who was applying for
a marriage license at City Hall… so perhaps take this item with a grain of salt.
That said, Page Six reported that the witness tweeted - and then deleted - a message that
read:
"When you go get your marriage license and Jennifer Lawrence walks by to tie the knot
before your eyes.
Yeah, kids, City Hall is COOL.
The place to go!"
So… do we believe Lawrence secretly tied the knot?
Honestly, who knows?
Since Lawrence was spotted holding a piece of paper, it could just mean the pair was
applying for their marriage license, but hey, you never know.
"You gotta ignore rumors like that."
