8 ways you, a plebe, can celebrate Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' wedding
It's been a weird year for Hollywood celebrity couples (R.I.P. Peteiana but long live "thank u, next"), but a great one in Bollywood. Now it's time for us to share the joy: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are marrying their cultures, their industries, and two whole countries (to say nothing of massive global fan bases), and while we can't attend, we sure can celebrate.
Here are the best ways for you to celebrate the Jo-pra wedding on a budget.
1. Read this adorable profile
We've got whiplash from how fast this love story snuck up on us. It turns out, though, that it's been in the works for years, but that both parties are private people (can't blame 'em!). In a cover story for Vogue, Chopra and Jonas open up about the history of their courtship, and it couldn't be clearer that they're both thrilled to embark on the next step.
2. Form a task force
The only way you're going to stay in the loop about this wedding is if you make your interest known to everyone in your life so that they see something, say something and text you the moment they see a photo, tweet, or any news about the nuptials. Talk to your friends, know who you can trust, promise to keep each other informed!
3. Watch this Bollywood song
This isn't an exact representation of what's going down at the Hindu wedding (like taking over all of London), but there will be some overlap, including Jonas entering on a horse for his baraat. If this song isn't in the playlist, someone needs to get fired.
4. Obsess over these photos
I'm not saying I found them within 13 seconds of posting but having a task force pays off! Be smart about how you check Google, Twitter, and Instagram – constant vigilance!
4. Listen to this mixtape
This wedding was foretold...by ART. The mashup of Jonas' "Chains" and Chopra's "Tujhe Bhula Diya" (she featured in the film it's from but didn't sing it) starts around 16:27.
5. Get Indian food
If you're really committed, get it in Nick's home state of New Jersey. Rep 'em both!
6. Watch this GIF on a loop
Vogue wyd!!
7. Meet DeepVeer
Priyanka's Bollywood peers Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh married less than a month ago, and though it's not a competition, you can't avoid direct comparison (also, Deepika tweeted these photos about 10 minutes after Priyanka's emotional wedding Insta post). Neither member of the couple has spoken a word about it since then, but instead opted for social media dumps of insanely beautiful photos. Priyanka and Nick might be on the same path...
8. Listen to your favorite Jonas brothers songs
This whole thing is a whirlwind, and it's okay to feel emotional about the loss of what could have been! Take some you time, visit the past, and take a breath to appreciate the journey millions of former teens and their teen heartthrob took up to this weekend.
