During a March 11 appearance onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 21-year-old actress opened up about exchanging vows with the 22-year-old actor and model.

“I hate to be that person, but it was perfect,” she gushed, adding that there is always “so much pressure” placed on planning the perfect day.

“When I turned up, I was, of course, directing the whole thing because that’s my nature,” she said with a laugh, joking that she was giving people their marks and getting them in place.

However, her perspective changed as she headed down the aisle

“Everything became so real and pure, and nothing about that was a production. It felt so beautiful,” she said, describing it as “the most meaningful thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

Brown also revealed a sneaky way that she “tricked” her fans and the paparazzi ahead of the wedding.

She recalled running into a photographer on the way to her final dress fitting. Brown was concerned that Bongiovi would see pictures of her in the gown, which would ruin the surprise as she walked down the aisle.

To avoid that, she tried on another dress, which was “the complete opposite” of what she purchased and made a scene as the photographer watched.

“She got the whole thing, and it sold,” Brown said before playing the video of her running around in the dress.
