The Bollywood star and American singer married in a Christian ceremony Saturday night presided over by the groom’s pastor father before Hindu celebrations on Sunday, inviting 225 guests to their epic weekend.
Priyanka told People: ‘I love that our wedding was a religious mash-up. 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 happy couple later reflected on their marriage in separate Instagram posts shared with followers on Tuesday, with Nick calling it the ‘happiest day of his life.’
Referencing her undying love for the singer, Priyanka added: ‘And forever starts now…’
On Saturday, following their arrival at the Umaid Bhawan Palace, the couple had held a Mehendi ceremony, where they both had elaborate henna designs applied to their hands.
Then after the Christian marriage service, which included an 18-foot cake the groom brought over from Kuwait and Dubai, according to Filmfare, there was a traditional Sangeet party that is held the night before an Indian wedding.
At the Sangeet, the bride danced to her own film songs before her movie star cousin Parineeti Chopra and some friends acted out the story of her life and relationship with her groom, according to a report in the Bombay Times.
Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Hegde, who worked with Priyanka on the 2006 film Don, choreographed the dances for the evening.
Also during the evening, a slideshow was screened that featured childhood pictures of Nick and Priyanka.
‘Nick and Priyanka’s mothers shared their heartfelt thoughts on what their children meant to them. They spoke about how they both were, as kids, their growing up years and how lucky they were to be their parents. It was an emotional moment for everyone,’ the publication reported.
The night concluded with a massive fireworks show outside Umaid Bhawan which could be seen across the whole city.
According to the Bombay Times, Sunday started at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India, with a two-hour breakfast program followed by the traditional haldi ceremony at 12:30 p.m.
A large hall at the palace in Jodhpur where the wedding party is staying was decorated with marigolds and the theme for the guests was ‘pink, orange and purple.’ The second wedding also featured a 40-ft high mandap, or canopy, adorned with red flowers.
The haldi ceremony is when the bride and groom have their hands and feet, and sometimes their faces and necks, covered with a paste made from tumeric. It is applied by their close family and loved ones as a gesture to ward off evil spirits.
Most Hindu weddings take place at sunset and in late afternoon Nick took part in the safa ceremony in which he donned an elaborate turban.
He then mounted a decorated horse to arrive for his wedding in traditional style.
Priyanka chose to wear red for the ceremony, with a source telling E!: ‘Priyanka looked breathtaking in her traditional red Indian wedding outfit.’ The source added, ‘Nick did a beautiful job following the customs of a Hindu ceremony. It was lovely seeing how they honoured both of their heritages.’
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra timeline: From sliding into her DMs to going down on one knee
Romance rumors began after they attended the 2018 Met Gala in May of this year.
But Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s love story actually began way before, when the Jonas Brothers star first slid into the actresses DMs in 2016.
Revealing all, the couple shared an indepth account of the origins of their love story for the first time in their new Vogue article.

But there is a story behind that. He first sent a text to Graham Rogers, Chopra’s costar on Quantico, that read: ‘Priyanka. Is. Wow.’
But Nick said that is not the way he usually talks.
Then he sent a message to Priyanka on Twitter: ‘I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet,’ the note said.

‘We hung out for a couple of hours,’ Chopra says of the date, which ended when Nick escorted her back to her apartment. ‘He patted my back before he left.’
‘There was no kiss. There was nothing,’ Jonas said. ‘There was a back pat,’ Chopra says.
‘She’s still upset about that,’ Jonas said, adding: ‘Your mom was in the house! I thought it was a respectful first night.’ Priyanka replies: ‘It was too respectful if you ask me.’
