However, the Stranger Things actress is still keeping the more intimate details of her nuptials private.

“I think probably drawing the curtains, just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once,” she told WWD. “And to have everyone’s opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me.”

Brown added, “So I feel it’s important to keep those things, those small precious moments in life, really close to your chest."
