Jonathan's brother, Drew Scott, predicts that the groom is "gonna cry” during the ceremony and that he would "cry" too

Jonathan Scott is predicting his upcoming nuptials with Zooey Deschanel will be a tear-jerker!

The Property Brothers star along with his brother, Drew, both 46, shared in a recent interview with Access Hollywood that they expect a lot of emotions to come out when the time comes for the big ceremony.

“Absolutely he’s gonna cry,” Drew said of his brother. “Absolutely I’m gonna cry.” Jonathan then jokingly added, “It’s gonna be a mess.”

Jonathan also shared an update on how the wedding preparations are coming, noting that he and the New Girl actress, 44, have been so busy that they “literally haven’t had time to just stop and think.”

However, Jonathan did reiterate that they wanted to “keep it intimate” as weddings can be “very expensive” depending on what they choose to include in the ceremony. Drew teased that he was “pretty sure it’s going to have escape rooms” — referring to the couple’s choice of activity on their first date — “sushi, some sort of shows, a theater.”

The Celebrity IOU star previously told PEOPLE in May that he and Deschanel were planning on holding multiple wedding events, including a small ceremony and a bigger soirée to celebrate with family and friends.

“We know that the most important thing for us is to be surrounded by our loved ones,” Jonathan told PEOPLE of their big day. “And we're not planning to do a crazy, extravagant wedding. It's going to be pretty intimate.”

“We will probably throw another party just for friends here locally,” he added. The couple are based in Los Angeles and live in their 1938 “dream home” that they renovated in 2022 together.

Jonathan and the Elf actress first met while filming an episode of Carpool Karaoke with Drew and Deschanel’s sister, Emily, in 2019. After shooting the episode, the pair began dating.

After four years together, Jonathan officially popped the question while the pair enjoyed a family vacation in Scotland in August 2023. Deschanel's two children — daughter Elsie, 8, and son Charlie, 6 — also played a role in the special moment, pulling out a banner that read, "Zooey, will you marry me," as Jonathan got down on one knee at Edinburgh Castle.

Following their fairytale moment, the couple shared a joint post on Instagram with the caption, "Forever starts now.” In the photo, both Deschanel and Jonathan are all smiles as they pose at the foot of a stone castle while Deschanel proudly holds up her engagement ring.
