Millie Bobby Brown has revealed fresh details about her intimate wedding to husband Jake Bongiovi – disclosing the pair kicked off the evening with a complete Grease dance medley before British sensation Raye delivered a live performance on stage.
Appearing on the Dish from Waitrose podcast, presented by Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, Brown explained she was raised performing at family gatherings and immediately knew she wanted a choreographed sequence for her first dance.
“I grew up doing so many dance routines at my, you know, at pretty much any family gathering,” Millie said
“So 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’re gonna remember the dance. Like it’s just gonna be so special for us’.”

The 20 year old admitted she originally hoped to recreate the legendary lift from Dirty Dancing, but swiftly realised the risks were too great.
She said: “So I got us dance lessons, and originally we were gonna do Dirty Dancing, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, if you get that lift wrong, it’s too much’.”
Rather than risk disaster, the couple opted for a high-octane medley of Grease favourites – a choice that ultimately defined the entire atmosphere of the celebration.
Millie added: “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’.
“We did a six-minute choreographed routine,” she continued. “I can’t believe Jake actually did it. We did a Grease medley, so it started with ‘You’re the One That I Want,’ it went into ‘Summer Nights,’ it went into ‘We Stick Together.’ We dressed as, like, Sandy and Danny, but it was epic.”

The actress revealed Jake – also an actor – completely threw himself into the performance once they took to the dance floor.
“We did not miss one beat,” Mille said. “I do not regret that one bit. It was like we put on a show. He also is an actor, so we just loved being able to do that for everyone and perform.”
But the entertainment wasn’t finished there. following their theatrical opening dance, she disclosed that Raye took centre stage for an emotional live performance.
Millie and Jake were rumoured to have exchanged vows last year after getting engaged in 2023.
The intimate ceremony was believed to be a cosy family gathering, attended by their nearest and dearest, including both sets of parents. A grander celebration is anticipated later this year for friends and wider family members.
