Some of the costs of Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s lavish wedding have been revealed.
Last weekend, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra officially tied the knot in the bride’s native India. The “sister” couple, who are 10 years apart in age, did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on the most lavish “wedding of the century” of 2018. The cost of the multi-day wedding is estimated to exceed 500,000 USD (11.7 billion VND)!
Wedding venue rental and other amenities: approximately $461,000 (VND10.8 billion)
According to the plan, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra will have a Western wedding and a Hindu wedding at Umaid Bhawan Palace, which is also a 5-star hotel. The Indian website Daily News and Analysis said that the couple rented the entire hotel for the wedding from November 29 to December 3 at a cost of about 6.44 million Rupees (nearly 2.2 billion VND) per night.
Additionally, according to the Indian website wedding.net, each plate of food costs about 86 USD (2 million VND).
Cost of pre-wedding ceremonies: About $61,000 (VND 1.4 billion)
The traditional pre-wedding ceremonies of Haldi, Sangeet and Mehendi were initially scheduled to be held at the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, but were later shifted to the palace due to security reasons. A fort official told Daily News and Analysis that the catering costs for the three ceremonies were around Rs 4.3 million (US$ 65,000).
Airfare: Average $1,300 (VND30 million) for a round-trip economy class ticket, $8,000 – $21,000 (VND187 – 490 million) for a first class ticket
The bride and groom flew to India in late November to prepare for the wedding. To get from New York to Jodhpur, one needs to take at least two flights, with a stopover in Mumbai or New Delhi. Another option is to transit in London. A one-way flight from New York to Jodhpur alone would take more than a day. Perhaps that’s why Priyanka once joked to Vogue magazine: “Everyone will need a vacation after this wedding.”
The above expenses are just some of the prominent expenses revealed in the wedding, of course there are many other expenses that the famous couple spent a lot of money on. Both the bride and groom wore custom Ralph Lauren designs, they even organized a dance competition and a cricket match before the wedding. In the coming days, the Jonas couple will surely give fans more splendid images of the “wedding of the century”.
The couple’s Western-style wedding was officiated by Nick Jonas’ father. His mother, Denise Jonas, gave her daughter-in-law Priyanka a valuable gift: a pair of earrings worth 79,500 USD (1.86 billion VND). The jewelry was from Van Cleef & Arpels, made of gold and studded with 170 of the most exquisite diamonds, weighing 6.7 carats.
