While Jonathan admits there aren’t many wedding details set in stone yet, he previously confirmed that their wedding will feature bagpipes.

The nod to Jonathan’s Scottish heritage is somethinghis first wife had forbadeat their ceremony. (The famous contractor married Kelsey Ully, a Las Vegas-based airline-crew scheduler, in 2007 before splitting two years later.)

“It should have been a red flag for me,” Jonathan explained while appearing on theYou Made It Weird With Pete Holmespodcast in October. “We had this beautiful outdoor wedding… our friends let us use their place on a lake. It was gorgeous. But she forbade me from having bagpipes play at any point during the wedding.”

“Zooey and I have talked about the stuff that we want to do,” he added. “She knows the things that are important to me, the things that have hurt me . . . That’s what I think is so incredible — when you find somebody who knows your sensitivities, who knows what has hurt you. And they vow to never do that.”
