Will Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott Elope? It’s More Likely Than You Think

Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott have provided a few key updates about their upcoming wedding, which may come as a disappointment to some HGTV fans. During a chat with Entertainment Tonight in June 2024, the “(500) Days of Summer” star mentioned that they didn’t want to televise their wedding. Instead, they plan to have only personal photographers to capture their special moments. Jonathan echoed similar sentiments in a previous interview with People, asserting, “We know that the most important thing for us is to be surrounded by our loved ones.” He emphasized that they were not planning an extravagant wedding but rather something intimate.

There’s also a chance they might gather a handful of their nearest and dearest and elope, keeping the celebration simple and meaningful. This decision undoubtedly reflects their desire to keep the moment close to their hearts, shared only with those who matter most.

Despite opting for a private ceremony, it’s clear that Deschanel and Jonathan are very much looking forward to celebrating their love. Jonathan highlighted in a December 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight that their primary focus was on “throw[ing] a wicked awesome party.” His brother Drew Scott also expressed his confidence in the couple’s planning abilities. Having attended several of their fantastic parties in the past, Drew believes the wedding will be nothing short of spectacular.

Deschanel seems to be on the same page as her fiancé. She proudly told Entertainment Tonight that she wants her wedding guests to dance their socks off on the big day. This shared enthusiasm between the couple promises a memorable celebration, even if it is smaller and more intimate than what fans might have expected.

Their decision to keep the wedding private and low-key aligns with their personalities and wish to focus on the essence of the event — celebrating love surrounded by close friends and family. HGTV fans might not get an inside look at the wedding, but knowing that Deschanel and Jonathan are happy and excited is what truly matters.
