“I’ve sort of entered this phase of my life now where I’m realizing there are a lot of people around you who… you put way more effort into the relationship than they do,” Jonathan Scott shared, reflecting on the nature of relationships as he and Zooey Deschanel embark on their wedding planning journey.
The couple, who became engaged in August 2023 at the historic Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, are taking a thoughtful approach to their upcoming nuptials. Both have experienced marriage before—Deschanel to musician Ben Gibbard and producer Jacob Pechenik, and Scott to Kelsy Ully—bringing a unique perspective to their union.
Deschanel, 46, and Scott, 47, are parents to Deschanel’s two children, Elsie and Charlie, from her previous marriage, and they are keen on creating a wedding atmosphere that reflects their values. “I think we have decided we want to be around the people who actually love our friendship and love spending time with us,” Scott emphasized, highlighting their desire for a small guest list.
However, the wedding planning process has not been without its challenges. Deschanel expressed, “Yes, but it’s really like a lot of pressure because he designs incredible spaces, and I’m like, ‘There’s no space worthy of such a wedding.'” This sentiment underscores the couple’s high expectations for their special day.
Despite the pressures of planning, the couple is in no rush to tie the knot. Deschanel remarked, “We’re not in a rush because we’ve been together so long, so it’s not like we’re like, ‘We gotta get married.’” This relaxed attitude allows them to focus on what truly matters: celebrating their love and commitment.
As of now, no date or location has been finalized for the wedding, and the couple admits they have not worked on many details due to their busy lives. Nevertheless, they are committed to making their wedding fun and memorable, ensuring it reflects their personalities and relationships.
With their shared experiences and thoughtful approach to planning, Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott are poised to create a wedding that resonates with their journey together. Details remain unconfirmed as they navigate this exciting chapter of their lives.
