Jennifer Lawrence, accustomed to being the center of attention, relished the opportunity to step back and bask in the background at her best friend Laura Simpson’s wedding. Delighted to be out of the spotlight, the supportive BFF enjoyed the festivities, quaffing champagne and catching up with friends. This break from her typically busy filming schedule allowed her to fully immerse herself in the joyous Italian nuptials.
The Oscar-winner spent time at the intimate bash withΒ Kevin Burtch, a bartender from Long Beach, California.
The X-Men starlet certainly looked to be having fun with Kevin, who obviously tickled her funny bone.
Jennifer’s face lit up as the long haired Kevin amused her at the bash, which took place at the upmarket Borgo Stomennano Hotel in Tuscany.
Joined by a female friend, the pair walked arm-in-arm around the rose petal strewn outdoor site, sipping their drinks.

For the festivities the 25-year-old wore a mid-length silk sky blue dress that highlighted her toned but healthy frame.
Her bleached blonde hair was tied back in an updo, while she wore a simple choker around her neck.
It was clear that Jennifer was obviously delighted for her BFF, who she famously took to the Oscars as her date two years ago.
She chatted constantly to Laura, even helping her friend readjust her dress.
And Laura’s family were equally at ease with the A-lister in their midst, as the beauty amused those at the top table.
Jen flew to Italy on a private jet on Thursday ahead of the ceremony.
After enjoying the relaxed wedding day with friends it was back to work for the beauty, who had a series of promotional events lined up for her latest film X Men: Apocalypse.
Huger Games star Jennifer wasn’t the only stars in attendance on the big day, with her Winter’s Bone costar Lauren Sweetser and comic Aziz Ansari also scoring an invite.
Jen and Laura first met at an event nearly a decade ago, with Jennifer later joking they had bonded over a love of pizza.
Laura and her new husband Steve Ternosky both shared photos of the romantic ceremony online, clearly delighted to have tied the knot.
