Although Jonathan admits that he doesn’t have many details about the wedding yet, he previously confirmed that there will be bagpipes playing at their wedding.

A nod to Jonathan’s Scottish ancestry was something his first wife forbade at their ceremony. (The well-known businessman married Kelsey Ully, an aircrew scheduler based in Las Vegas, in 2007 before divorcing two years later.)

“That should have been a red flag for me,” Jonathan explained as he appeared on You made it weird with Pete Holmes podcast in October. “We had this beautiful outdoor wedding…our friends let us use their place on the lake. It was wonderful. But she forbade me to play the bagpipes at any time during the wedding.”

“Zooey and I talked about the things we want to do,” he added. “She knows the things that are important to me, the things that hurt me. . . That’s what I think is so amazing – when you find someone who knows your feelings, who knows what hurt you. And they promise they will never do that.”
