Priyanka Chopra recently shared intimate details about her “perfect” wedding to Nick Jonas, revealing how she incorporated meaningful elements from both their families to honor their diverse cultures.
A Blend of Cultures and Family Heirlooms
During her wedding celebrations with Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra ensured that both their Indian and American cultures were beautifully represented. This was incredibly important to her, creating a truly personal and symbolic union.
She fondly recalled using her mother-in-law’s wedding veil as a special pillow for their rings, a cherished item she still keeps. Priyanka also had a piece of her own mother’s wedding saree stitched onto her Sabyasachi lehenga, making her attire deeply intentional and full of family history.
Finding Her Perfect Partner
Priyanka described marrying Nick as the “best decision” of her life, admitting he was an unexpected yet perfectly “tailor-made” match. She believes this happiness stemmed from being open to what the universe had in store for her.
She also reminisced about their first public appearance together at the 2017 Met Gala. Priyanka recounted feeling overwhelmed and lost in a room full of strangers until Nick called her name, extended his hand, and guided her. They ended up spending the entire night together, a moment that foreshadowed their future.
Designing Iconic Wedding Attire
For her Western ceremony, Priyanka’s gown was custom-designed by Ralph Lauren, a rare feat as it was only the fourth wedding dress he had ever created. For her traditional Indian wedding, she worked closely with Sabyasachi to achieve a specific shade of red for her lehenga.
She was particular about the color, wanting it to match the vermillion used by Indian women when they marry. This meticulous detail further emphasized her commitment to cultural authenticity and personal significance.
