Sharing a memory from the Hindu wedding ceremony, Nick Jonas told People, “There’s this one moment in Indian weddings where the bride and groom are lifted on the shoulders of their family members and there’s sort of a game that’s played where this garland is put on each other. They try to be the first to put the garland on the other. And it’s surprisingly difficult, especially when you have someone as competitive as me and Pri. But whoever is the one to put it on first, that side of the family is the more dominant.”

“So it’s really for the family members to feel pride and that’s just a funny game. But it’s really heartwarming and a great way for the families to all connect,” he added.

Priyanka had also shared an interesting memory from the Hindi ceremony in an interview with British Vogue in May. She said, “It’s done according to astrological charts and the auspicious time was 10 o’clock at night and everyone had flown done from America. They were just so jet-legged. I could just see my husband glaring at his family cause they were nodding off.”

Priyanka moved to Los Angeles after the wedding. The couple continue to do well in their respective careers in the film and music industry and have a one-year-old daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, born via surrogacy.
