As reported by Page Six, the Silver Linings Playbook beauty and her art dealer beau were beaming and dressed down, with Maroney in a white sweatshirt and JLaw in grey blazer and jeans and clutching a piece of paper. One stunned onlooker wrote in a now-deleted tweet: “When you go get your marriage license and Jennifer Lawrence walks by to tie the knot before your eyes. Yeah, kids, City Hall is COOL. The place to go!”

JLaw and Maroney got engaged in February — and the Red Sparrow star recently admitted she had suffered a “bridezilla” moment.

The pair are due to throw a big wedding party next month and the actress admitted that she broke down in tears after she organised a bachelorette party at the last minute — and none of her friends could make it.

She told the NAKED with Catt Sadlerpodcast: “I’ve cried. I’ve officially joined the club.”

Speaking about the nuptials, JLaw — who recently returned to work after taking a year off — insisted she wasn’t nervous, revealing: “I’ve been in a good place. I haven’t been neurotic about it. I’m like, too lazy to be neurotic.”

“I saw a dress I liked, I was like, ‘That’s the dress.’ I saw a venue, I was like, ‘Cool, we got the venue.’

The actress — who dated actor Nicholas Hoult for four years — also shared that marriage was not on her mind before she met Maroney: “I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like I’m ready to get married.”

“I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully and you know, he’s my best friend. I feel very honoured to become a Maroney.”

She confirmed that she take his last name as well, adding: “I want to legally bind him to me forever and, fortunately, the paperwork exists for such a thing.”

“It’s the greatest. You find your favourite person on the planet, you’re like, ‘You can’t leave.’ So, I wanted to take up on that offer,” she told Sadler.

However, when it comes to her stage name, she will remain Jennifer Lawrence.

In June, a pal of JLaw told the New York Post: “Jennifer has a big career and the thing about Cooke is that he will help her navigate the stuff in Hollywood that doesn’t really matter.”

The star has definitely created a more relaxed life for herself after revealing she felt under pressure as her career skyrocketed.

She started dating Maroney, the director of the Gladstone 64 art gallery on the Upper East Side (among its clients are painter Carroll Dunham, father of Girls star Lena Dunham), in June 2018. Eight months later, Lawrence was seen wearing a “giant rock” on her engagement finger while out at dinner in New York.

Maroney’s parents, art dealer James Maroney and Suki Fredericks, own Vermont’s Oliver Hill Farm — a popular wedding venue.

The couple have recently been apartment hunting in Manhattan and, according to a source close to Lawrence, will make efforts to stay connected while she is working: “Jen and Cooke have a very happy, trusting relationship. I can see them taking time out to travel together, with Cooke joining Jen on set.”

Reps for the pair couldn’t be contacted.
