Weddings are great… in theory. Everyone you love (or, hopefully, like!) gathers to celebrate a couple’s eternal commitment.

Add free steak and an open bar it’s a damn good time—for everyone except the bride and groom. Take it from Jennifer Lawrence, who says that being a bride was “awful.”

In an interview with E! News at the Golden Globes, the 33-year-old actress joked about her taxing nuptials and revealed that she even asked a certain legendary actor to leave her rehearsal dinner.

“It’s so stressful,” Lawrence said of the experience. “You’re not having fun. You’re just like, ‘Is that person having fun?” While speaking with E!, Lawrence reflected on her cold-as-heck rehearsal dinner.

“I’ll never forget—I was freaking out about the guests being cold, and all of my friends were lying. They’re like, ‘Nobody’s cold, nobody’s cold, everything’s fine.’

My mom was like, ‘It’s freezing out there, your grandmother almost died.'”

Lawrence married art dealer Cooke Maroney in October 2019. Aside from her family and friends, the Rhode Island-based event also included some Hollywood stars. Among the bunch was Robert De Niro, whom Lawrence worked with on Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. The night before the wedding, De Niro stopped by the rehearsal dinner to support his former co-star. “I looked over and I saw Bob, who doesn’t know anybody and he’s kind of wandering around,” Lawrence recalled. “I immediately was like, ‘No, this isn’t what he wants to be doing. I don’t want him here.'” Thankfully, she told him to leave. “I went over and whispered, I was like ‘Go home,'” Lawrence said. “He was nice. He, like, talked to my parents and was polite—but I was like, ‘Go.'”

Though Lawrence, of course, couldn’t control the weather, she saved good ol’ Bob from painful rehearsal-dinner small talk. “That genuinely made me feel better,” she said. Have we all been partying the wrong way? Is kicking your guests out the key to a fun wedding?! Jennifer Lawrence, I think you’re onto something.
