Although not much information about Sydney Sweeney's upcoming wedding is public, we can't help but daydream about what her big day will look like. We share our top three predictions for Sydney Sweeney's wedding below.

Sydney Sweeney's Wedding Will Be Private

If one thing's certain, it's that Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino's wedding will be an intimate affair. Given the couple's choice to keep their romance out of the spotlight, we likely won't know anything about their big day until it's over—even then, they may continue to play coy about their nuptials.

The Couple Will Have Wedding Events in Chicago

With Sydney Sweeney's affinity for Chicago and Jonathan Davino's familial ties to the city, we wouldn't be surprised if the couple swaps vows in Illinois. Plus, we predict that Davino's family businesses might even supply catering for the event. (Late-night deep-dish pizza, perhaps?)

Syndey Sweeney's Close Friends Will Be in Attendance

In November 2022, Sydney Sweeney served as a bridesmaid for one of her longtime friends—so there's no doubt that her own loved ones will have a similar role on her wedding day. In addition to her friends and family out of the spotlight, we wouldn't be surprised if some of Sweeney's famous friends land on the guest list, like her Euphoria co-stars Zendaya and Maude Apatow, her White Lotus co-star Alexandra Daddario, singer Halsey and actress Lili Reinhart.
