The actress, who’s planning her marriage ceremony to fiancé and fellow actor Bryan Greenberg (have you ever seen her beautiful engagement ring?), and can also be starring on NBC’s new J.J.

Day one kicked off with a personal go to to Monique Lhuillier’s Madison Avenue showroom, the place the designer took Chung by means of her breathtaking new assortment. After assembly Lhuillier and taking one look at a room stuffed with romantic assertion robes, Chung realized selecting a marriage costume may be more durable than she anticipated. “I turned to Monique and earlier than I may even say something, she mentioned ‘don’t be concerned, we have loads of time to determine it out,'” mentioned Chung.
By the tip of the afternoon, Chung got here to the conclusion that maybe taking part in princess for the day is precisely the type of marriage ceremony look she had in thoughts. “Rising up I used to be the tomboy, taking part in sports activities and getting soiled,” Chung shared. “I by no means daydreamed about my ‘huge day,’ nor did I ever wish to be the princess.
