Just two days after Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas shared adorable videos and pictures of the traditional pre-wedding rituals of Mehendi and Sangeet, their official wedding photos have been released.
And, yep, they're as gorgeous as you'd expect.
Released via HELLO!, the images show the newly weds at both their ceremonies, which celebrate both Jonas and Chopra’s heritage.
'I love that our wedding is a religious mash up,' Chopra told HELLO! 'We are taking beautiful traditions that we both grew up with and we are personalising them in a way that makes sense for us...'It's been incredible to find the commonalities between our beliefs and figuring out how to blend them in a respectful and meaningful way.'
Jonas told the magazine that the thoughtfulness of Indian ceremonies truly surprised him, 'finding the meaning behind every detail really just made me fall in love with the culture even more.'
For the first Christian ceremony, on Saturday, Chopra wore a custom Ralph Lauren gown, that took a total of 1,826 hours to make. Complete with mother of pearl palettes, crystal seed beads, Swarovski crystals and a 75-foot train.
The gown also had some super special touches. This included eight words in hand-stitched embroidery, which read: Nicholas Jerry Jonas, 1st December 2018, Madhu & Ashok, Om Namah Shivay (a Hindi mantra invoking Lord Shiva), Family, Hope, Compasssion and Love.'
Taking a leaf out of her dear friend Meghan Markle's gown, which included a piece of fabric from the dress she wore on her and Prince Harry's first date, Chopra's dress incorporated lace from her mother-in-law's wedding gown.
'For the western wedding, we had been talking to a bunch of incredible designers,' Priyanka detailed, 'But ultimately when Ralph Lauren approached us (they're so much a part of our love story for obvious reasons) and I learned that Ralph has only designed three wedding dresses in 50 years - one for his daughter, his daughter in law, and his niece - I was blown.
'Then when we went in for the sketch presentation, they created exactly what I envisioned for myself on my wedding day... and I said yes to the dress.'
Jonas similarly looked dashing in his own custom Ralph Lauren, which had its own special elements. Inside of the lapel of his tuxedo, he added a small piece of lace from the bride's dress embroidered with the Urdu words 'My Jaan' which translates to 'My Life'.

For the Hindu ceremony on Sunday, 36 year-old Chopra wore a red lehenga by designer Sabyasachi Mukherji.
'I always knew I wanted a red traditional silhouette for my wedding but Sabya brought in incredible French embroidery to the mix and with incredible jewellery and western inspired veil it was just such an amalgamation of who I am!'
Congrats to the happy couple.
