The infamous ‘Chonas’ (Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas) wedding controversy is definitely known to all, but also a riddle to understand. Starting from their age gap to countless brands that sponsored their wedding, everything seemed a bit out of the world and immensely extravagant. As rightly stated in Vox, it indeed kind of made, Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding look like they were held at the “service bathroom of a Wegman’s”.
However, here’s what you need to know about their wedding and why so many people talked about it, and how their wedding is still a sensational deal amongst many, as categorised in an article by Vox.
How the two met
The two were just dating for a couple of months before reports surfaced that Jonas leased a Tiffany store to select a wedding band for Chopra.
Regardless, Chopra and Jonas denied reports that they were dating for a couple of months, even after they went to the Met Gala together in 2017. While conversing to Jimmy Kimmel, Chopra glossed over her and Nick’s public appearance as a fun gag.
However, this hush-hush didn’t last long, and the two made several other appearances later and also took to their social media sharing each other’s photos, leaving flirtatious comments on each other’s pictures.
Their engagement was public from the very start
Rumours of Jonas buying an engagement ring for PeeCee were affirmed when, Priyanka shared photographs of her Mumbai roka function, which was covered by the Indian Express.
However, this was quite unusual for Hollywood in general, for the celebs often try to hide such from the media and public, but Jonas and Chopra made it public all the way from day 1.
Brands Sponsoring their wedding
Their wedding was termed as sponsored content. The two were labelled for using their wedding as an enhancement to their financial status and self-branding. It was also stated that their romance was staged for publicity. However, while brands truly were a significant part of their wedding, but it’s because both of them love ‘Brands’.
