Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ wedding festivities have officially started. The couple was photographed in India Wednesday (November 28) during their puja ceremony, which is a Hindu prayer ritual. The event took place at Chopra’s mother’s home in Mumbai, and both Jonas and Chopra wore traditional Indian outfits for the occasion. Jonas wore a light pink kutra and cream-colored pants, while Chopra opted for a powder blue and cream Indian suit. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were in attendance, as well, and they also wore formal Indian ensembles.
This is just the beginning of what’s to come. According to India Today, Chopra will have her sangeet and mehendi ceremonies on Thursday at Umaid Bhawan Palace, which is their wedding venue. (A sangeet ceremony is a celebration that includes music and singing, while mehendi is a form of Indian body art.)
Back-to-back Hindu and Christian wedding ceremonies are reportedly happening on December 2, according to DNA India. “The Christian ceremony will happen first, after which Nickyanka will change their outfits and get ready for the Hindu nuptials,” a source explains. “Their outfits are color-coordinated.”

“I’m excited. It’s a very different feeling,” Chopra told E! News a few weeks back when explaining the difference between dating and engaged life. “I never realized that having a boyfriend and having a fiancé are completely different.” She added, “It just feels different. There’s gravitas. You feel like family, which is just so different.”
She added, “We’ve known each other for a couple of years but we dated for just a little while, but I think that’s the one thing we really connect on, is our love for family and knowing faith is so important to us.”
