    We sat down with the beautiful Emily Blunt to talk about her latest movie, The Five Year Engagement

    When we met Emily Blunt to chat about her new movie The Five Year Engagement we couldn't resist asking her about her own nuptials to the handsome John Krasinski.

    Blunt gave us a little insight into what her 2010 Lake Como wedding to the US actor was like, and insists that there wasn't even the chance of her turning into a Bridezilla in the run up to the big day.

    'I wasn't ever that girl that was dreaming about her wedding day,' she told us.

    'I didn't want it to be a militant, overly thought-out, overly planned affair because I think that's when you get into trouble. Who knows what's going to go wrong on the wedding day - the dress could rip, who knows? I was very laid-back about it and decisive.

    'The only advice I'd give is that very quickly there can become too many cooks in the kitchen because every member of your family wants a say because they want to feel apart of it.'

    She added: 'You've got to let it be your day and do it exactly how you want to do it.'

    The Five-Year Engagement is released in cinemas on Friday, June 22.
