Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ wedding was a dreamy affair. On Priyanka Chopra’s đđąđ«đđĄday, we revisit the best moments from their wedding – right from the pre-wedding events – mehendi and sangeet in Jaipur, to grand receptions hosted in New Delhi and Mumbai
After three days of wedding celebrations, which included a colourful Mehendi ceremony, a friendly cricket match and a glitzy, lively and power-packed ‘desi’ musical evening, Bollywood diva Priyanka Chopra married American singer Nick Jonas on December 1, 2018, at the royal Umaid Bhawan Palace. The pre-wedding festivities of Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas were no less than a Bollywood event with a stage, elaborate light set-up and props as well as energetic performances. Priyanka looked every bit the ‘desi girl’ in a bright multi-coloured and festive lehenga choli for her Mehendi ceremony
For their grand sangeet ceremony, Priyanka Chopra looked absolutely stunning in an Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla sari – quite reminiscent of her “Desi girl” look. “It all began as a fierce song and dance competition between the families, but ended, as always, as a huge celebration of love. Nick and I were looking forward to the sangeet (musical evening), another pre-wedding ritual and to see what each side had put together. And what a performance it was. Each family telling our stories through song and dance, filled with lots of laughter and love. We were both filled with gratitude for the effort, the love and the laughter and will carry the memories of this special evening for the rest of our lives. It is an amazing start to a lifetime of togetherness for our families and friends. Grateful,” Priyanka wrote alongside the sangeet ceremony photos
The sky in Jodhpur was lit up with fireworks to celebrate Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ nuptials on December 1, 2018, at the royal Umaid Bhawan Palace. The couple exchanged wedding bands by Chopard and wedding vows at a Catholic wedding officiated by the groom’s father, Paul Kevin Jonas Sr
Priyanka was a glowing bride in a custom-made Ralph Lauren wedding gown, and Jonas, too, wore Ralph Lauren. In fact, so did both families, all of the bridesmaids, and all of the groomsmen who included Priyanka’s brother Siddharth and Nick’s three brothers, Joe, Kevin and Frankie
Ralph Lauren is an important designer to the couple not only because he is a close friend of Priyanka Chopra, but also because she and Nick both rocked Ralph Lauren outfits at the 2017 Met Gala, which took place one week after their unofficial first date
Priyanka Chopra, who said “I do” wearing a 75 ft long veil for her Christian wedding ceremony with Nick Jonas, said she was nervous and scared before the nuptials. But her worries flew away when she saw her groom waiting for her down the aisle
“Every girl dreams of being a princess on her wedding day. But I never had a plan about what I wanted it to be,” people.com quoted Priyanka
“One of the most special things that our relationship has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each others’ faiths and cultures. And so, planning our wedding with an amalgamation of both was so amazing,” Priyanka and Nick wrote on their respective Instagram pages on December 1 when they shared glimpses of their wedding ceremonies.
“We took beautiful traditions that we both grew up with and personalised them in a way that made sense for us. It’s been incredible to find the commonalities between our beliefs and figuring out how to blend them in a respectful and meaningful way.”
The couple first began talking in 2016 via Twitter, and met in person for the first time at a party for the Academy Awards in 2017. Priyanka Chopra changed her name to Priyanka Chopra Jonas on December 6, 2018.
