Jennifer Lawrence’s Hilarious ‘Bridezilla’ Moment: What Happened When She Realized She Wanted a Bachelorette Party

Jennifer Lawrence, one of Hollywood’s most relatable and down-to-earth stars, is known for her laid-back approach to life. As she planned her wedding to art gallerist Cooke Maroney in 2019, she kept that relaxed vibe, saying she was “too lazy to be neurotic” about the details. The dress was chosen, the venue was locked in, and she was ready to marry the love of her life at the Belcourt of Newport mansion in Rhode Island. But like all brides, even Jennifer Lawrence had her moments of stress.

One such moment came when she suddenly decided she did want a bachelorette party after all. Initially, she had decided against it, but as the date drew closer, she found herself longing for a night of celebration with her closest friends. The only problem? She wanted it “yesterday,” and her friends—like Amy Schumer and Emma Stone—were unavailable on such short notice. Jennifer’s excitement turned to frustration as the reality set in that the bachelorette party she envisioned wasn’t going to happen on her timeline. In a rare moment of what she humorously referred to as her “bridezilla” moment, she cried. “I didn’t even know I wanted a bachelorette party!” she admitted, laughing at herself as she shared the story.

But this was just a momentary blip in an otherwise calm wedding planning experience. Jennifer quickly brushed off the tears, recognizing the absurdity of it all. “It was too last-minute. People travel. I had, like, one friend that could make it,” she joked during an interview, showing that even in the midst of stress, she could laugh and move on. It was, she noted, her only venture into “bridezilla” territory, proving that, at her core, she remained grounded and unbothered by the pressure of perfection.

Jennifer’s candid reflection on the bachelorette party incident reveals a lot about her ability to maintain perspective, even when emotions run high. Despite the fleeting moment of frustration, she didn’t let it overshadow her joyful, easygoing nature. In fact, she later joked about her brief “bachelorette to ghosts” moment when she expressed nervousness about being away from Cooke while filming in New Orleans, adding a playful twist to an otherwise stressful situation.

Her story is a reminder that even in the midst of wedding planning—when emotions can run high and expectations are sometimes overwhelming—it’s okay to laugh at yourself and let go of the small things. Jennifer Lawrence’s ability to quickly move past her “bridezilla” moment speaks volumes about her character. She shows us that sometimes, the best way to handle stress is to embrace the chaos with humor, let go of perfection, and remember that the most important part of the journey is the love you’re celebrating.
