Two-and-half weeks from now, Priyanka Chopra will walk down the aisle with beau Nick Jonas. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for December 2 in Jodhpur.
STRICTLY FOR FAMILY MEMBERS
Much like DeepVeer (as Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are popularly called), PC too wanted her wedding to be an intimate family affair. Says a source, “Priyanka was sure that she wanted to get married somewhere in India. She, along with her mother Madhu Chopra, planned the entire itinerary for their guests. For the sangeet at the Mehrangarh Fort (on December 1) and the wedding (the next day) at the Umaid Bhawan Palace, PC has invited only her family members.”
The source further adds, “Priyanka has a huge extended family — her dad’s side being a big Punjabi one and her mom’s from Patna. PC has invited all her relatives to be part of her celebration because that’s how her dad (late Ashok Chopra) would have wanted it. So, for the nuptials, the invites have been strictly restricted to family members, along with a few of her closest friends who may or may not be from the industry.”
TRIPLE CELEBRATIONS FOR NICKYANKA
Nick’s family will fly to Mumbai around November 27-28 and the entire wedding contingent will zoom off to Jodhpur together the following day. The couple has planned two lavish receptions, along with the wedding. “After Nickyanka (as they are called by fans) tie the knot, they will come back to Mumbai with the family and throw a grand reception for their Bollywood friends and industry insiders. The families are currently planning the Mumbai reception and putting a date to it. The who’s who from the industry will be part of the celebrations. Their bash is expected to be a star-studded one,” says a source. But that’s not all. “Nick and PC will also throw a big party once they return to the US for their friends out there. They have also bought a new bungalow at Beverly Hills, so they might organise something at their new house, for their friends in Hollywood,” the insider adds.
DESI VIBES FOR THE DESI GIRL
Staying true to her ‘Desi Girl’ avatar, Priyanka has already locked her outfits for the different ceremonies. Another source, who’s aware of the development, tells us, “PC was sure that she will have a traditional wedding, somewhere in India. Along with that, she also clearly told her team to only look for Indian designers while finalising her outfit for the D-Day. While for her wedding, she has opted for an Abu-Sandeep creation, it needs to be seen who she wears at the Mumbai reception. But it will be an Indian designer for sure. She has not initiated talks with any international designers for her wedding trousseau.”
