What were some of the traditional elements of the couple’s Hindu wedding ceremony?
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s wedding was truly an epic affair. From the magnificent Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur to the star-studded guest list, every detail of their extravagant three-day wedding festivities made headlines. However, there were some touching moments that you may not have seen in the public eye.
One such moment was when Priyanka’s mother, Madhu Chopra, walked her down the aisle during the Christian ceremony. The Hollywood starlet looked ethereal in her custom-made lace Ralph Lauren gown, holding on tight to her mother’s arm. Madhu’s proud smile and teary eyes spoke volumes of a mother’s love for her daughter.
The couple’s Hindu wedding ceremony was all about tradition and culture. In a beautiful ritual, Nick had to prove his worth to Priyanka’s family to win her heart. The ancient Pheras ceremony involves taking seven rounds around the holy fire, each round symbolizing a promise and commitment the couple makes to each other. However, during the ceremony, Priyanka’s brother didn’t let Nick off the hook so easily. He added a hilarious twist by replacing the traditional seven ‘promises’ with a Bollywood-inspired list of demands, including a promise to ‘cook western food for Priyanka twice a week.’
Another unforgettable moment was the heartfelt speech by Nick’s father, Paul Kevin Jonas Sr, during the Christian ceremony. He spoke about Nick’s journey from being a fun-loving boy to a man who carries a deep sense of responsibility and honor. He welcomed Priyanka’s family to the Jonas family and wished the newlywed couple a lifetime of love and joy.
Lastly, the wedding reception was a perfect amalgamation of Hollywood and Bollywood glamour. Priyanka and Nick danced their way into the night, surrounded by their families and friends. Priyanka’s cousin and Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra gave an emotional speech about her bond with Nick and how he has found a forever home in their family. The celebrity guests rocked the dance floor, cheered on by the newlyweds.
In conclusion, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s wedding will go down in history as one of the biggest and grandest celebrity weddings of all time. However, the moments behind the scenes were equally touching, and they were a testimony to the love, laughter, and warmth that surrounded the couple throughout their celebration.
