Millie Bobby Brown is spilling "epic" new details from her wedding day.

In May 2024, PEOPLE confirmed that the Stranger Things star, 21, secretly married Jon Bon Jovi's son, Jake Bongiovi, 23, in a "very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family." Several months later, the couple hosted a lavish wedding in Italy and shared photos on social media from their larger celebration in October 2024.

While reflecting on her nuptials during her appearance on the latest episode of the Dish podcast, Brown revealed that British singer-songwriter RAYE, 28, sang at the reception.

The actress, who shares a baby daughter with Bongiovi, explained that she "grew up doing so many dance routines at every family gathering," so she instantly knew after getting engaged that great music and dancing was a wedding must-have.

Before the Enola Holmes star danced with her father, Robert, as RAYE sang, she did a "six-minute dance" with Bongiovi.

"When Jake proposed, I was like, 'We have to learn a dance routine. We’ll remember it forever and when the song comes on when we’re 80, we’ll remember it. It’s going to be so special,' " Brown said. "So I got us dance lessons, and originally it was going to do Dirty Dancing, but I was like, ‘Oh my god, if you get that lift wrong? History much?' "

She continued, "So we ended up going for- my favorite movie is Grease 2, so we did a Grease medley of songs, it was probably like a six-minute dance. People were like, 'Oh my god, you can tell she’s an actor.' It was so much fun. It was amazing."

Brown and Bongiovi's ceremony at Villa Cetinale in Italy was officiated by Brown's Stranger Things co-star, Matthew Modine, who plays her on-screen father figure, Dr. Martin Brenner ("Papa"). The actress also wore four stunning dresses for her Italian wedding.

Speaking to British Vogue in an interview published on Nov. 5, Brown said of her nuptials: "I understood I was young — I know that."

At the time of their first wedding, Brown and Bongiovi had been together for nearly three years. "I truly just can’t say it enough: when you meet that person, you know it," Brown told the outlet.
