Nick Jonas & Priyanka Chopra

The singer and Indian actress wed during an elaborate celebratio­n

-

MOST GIRLS SPEND YEARS DREAMING ABOUT their wedding day and lucky Priyanka Chopra got to marry the man of her dreams not once, but twice. After first connecting with singer Nick Jonas, 26, in 2016 and getting engaged after just two months of dating, the pair spent a week tying the knot in celebratio­n with friends and family.

The “Jealous” singer popped the question to the Indian actress in Crete on her 36th birthday on July 18 after reportedly hiring out an entire Tiffany & Co. store to pick her ring. But their nuptials were even more elaborate – filled with A-list guests, henna tattoos and vibrant wedding attire.

Chopra dazzled in a custom Ralph Lauren wedding dress, with Jonas and the whole bridal party sporting the same designer, with both families following suit. On Dec. 1, the pair said their vows during a traditiona­l Christian wedding ceremony in Chopra’s home country of India, before continuing the festivitie­s and honouring the bride’s heritage with a Hindu ceremony.

In an Instagram post shortly after the traditiona­l Indian ceremony, Chopra wrote: “One of the most special things that our relationsh­ip has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each other’s faiths and cultures. And so planning our wedding with an amalgamati­on of both was so, so amazing.” •
