The country’s two biggest passions, cricket and big fat weddings, have come together in the wedding extravaganza of actor Priyanka Chopra and US singer-actor Nick Jonas. The crossover celebrity couple is tying the knot at a lavish ceremony at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
According to sources, a cricket match is scheduled to be played between the bride’s and the groom’s families on Saturday. While the two teams, named ‘P’ and ‘N’, try to bowl the other out, the couple will play cameo roles in the limited-over match.
