In the twilight of her teenage years, Millie Bobby Brown confidently embarked on a journey to wed her 21-year-old sweetheart, Jake Bongiovi, following a romance that blossomed over two years. Despite naysayers casting doubts on their youth, Brown stood steadfast, trusting her gut instincts on the timing of life's milestones. Their love story, although private save for a few glimpses on social media, remained a private affair as they brace themselves for the momentous "I do."

With the scent of romance lingering in the air, the stage is set for Stranger Things star Matthew Modine. Brown's co-star is poised to officiate their union, adding a touch to their journey toward marital bliss.

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is set to take her walk down the aisle with the guidance of none other than her on-screen father, Matthew Modine. Confirming the news during an appearance on Access Hollywood, the 64-year-old actor shared, “I have one of those licenses to get people married," along with his delight in officiating Brown's upcoming wedding to Jake Bongiovi. Modine, who has portrayed a protective figure to Brown since the show's inception in 2016, expressed his joy in uniting the couple in holy matrimony.

Modine also revealed his thoughtful gesture of writing personalized wedding vows for their special day. As the young couple anticipate their big day, they continue to keep the details under wraps. Brown, known for her witty banter, jokingly entertained the idea of shaving her head akin to her Stranger Things character, Eleven, for her wedding day. With Modine's unexpected role as the officiant, and the light-hearted anticipation surrounding their nuptials, Brown's Stranger Things family remains closely knit, with co-star Noah Schnapp humorously nominated as the likely ring bearer.

Modine has played a significant role in Brown's life, consistently acting as her protector for a specific reason.

Some of the standout actors initially turned down roles in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, despite its stellar cast. Matthew Modine, renowned for his portrayal of Dr. Martin Brenner, revealed in a candid 2022 interview with The Guardian that he initially rebuffed the offer to join the show. Despite the persuasive efforts of the Duffer Brothers, Modine was apprehensive about diving into the dark depths of his character, particularly the unsettling revelation of his involvement in child abduction. 

Modine's decision to shield Millie Bobby Brown, who brings Eleven to life on screen, stems from his own turbulent journey in the cutthroat world of showbiz. Drawing from his own experiences, Modine recognized the potential pitfalls of fame and sought to shield Brown from its treacherous grasp. His transformation from hesitant participant to a protective guardian mirrors the storyline of Stranger Things, where reality intertwines with fiction in the most unexpected ways.
