OH MY GOD. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas also gave their wedding “exclusive” to People Magazine, in addition to the deal they worked out with Vogue Magazine for a digital cover and exclusive photos. People Mag also got a series of exclusives, so I guess I shouldn’t be so shocked that Nick and Priyanka got a cover too. I was wondering just how many deals Priyanka and Nick made around their wedding, and it seems like they easily made hundreds of thousands of dollars from spon-con on social media and deals with various media outlets, brands and more. Nick’s bachelor party was sponsored by Elit vodka, and the Amazon wedding registry – which was published in People – came with a $100K donation to UNICEF. Other companies sponsoring Priyanka and Nick: Ralph Lauren, Longchamp, Tiffany, JBL Audio, Lime Bike (who made custom scooters for all of his groomsmen) and Malibu Rum. So if this People cover story seems especially tacky, that’s because it is.
When singer/actor Nick Jonas proposed to Indian superstar Priyanka Chopra this past summer, the two knew their wedding had to be a meld of their cultures, religions and families.
“Every girl dreams of being a princess on her wedding day,” Chopra, 36, tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s cover story. “But I never had a plan about what I wanted it to be.”
The singer, 26, suggested they dream big and opt for not one, but two ceremonies in India to celebrate their different backgrounds. “It melted my heart,” adds the Quantico actress. “Being able to have two big weddings, in India, with our closest family and friends was unbelievably special.”
On Dec. 1, the day after Chopra and Jonas held a Mehendi ceremony, where they were both adorned with henna tattoos, and a Sangeet that night in which both families performed elaborate musical numbers with choreography and costumes, the bride and groom were married in a Western ceremony on the palace’s lawn. As a string quartet played, Chopra, wearing a hand-beaded and embroidered Ralph Lauren gown with a stunning 75-foot long veil, was escorted down the aisle by her mother Madhu (her father Ashok died of cancer in 2013).
“It was all tears. All tears,” says the actress, who carried a bouquet of hyacinths and tuberoses designed by Jenya Flowers (NYC), which created the floral arrangements for the entire wedding party. “I could not hold it in. I think I was nervous and scared. But as soon as the curtains opened, and I saw his face it was just like everything settled and I knew I was making the best decision of my life.”

I don’t really have anything to say. As someone who liked them separately, I’m really disappointed in how they did all of this. It makes me wonder… what companies will sponsor their divorce? Legal Zoom? Lawyers.com? Will Ralph Lauren design exclusive lewks for Priyanka to get pap’d coming in and out of the courthouse?
