When Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas married in an extravagant wedding this weekend, they were doing more than celebrating their love; they were also bringing together their two families and traditions. On Thursday, December 6, both Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas shared details after bearing witness to their matrimony.
“It was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever seen, and to be a part of it was a dream,” Joe, 29, said on the Today show Thursday morning. “I was the best man and had a lot of responsibilities, but was mostly just trying to figure out what and where to be at different times. [Nick] had about 12 groomsmen, so … it was a lot of wrangling.”
Chopra, 36, and Nick, 26, celebrated their marriage with both a traditional Christian wedding ceremony and a traditional Hindu ceremony, along with plenty of pre-wedding festivities in between.
One such fete was the Sangeet, a high-energy song and dance competition that took place in the lead-up to the epic wedding weekend. During the Sangeet, both the Jonas clan and Chopra’s family performed for one another in a fun-spirited “competition.” Despite the Jonas’s obvious talent in both music and dance, however, Joe conceded that Chopra’s family won, hands down.
“There were a few dance-offs,” he said Thursday. “The Sangeet’s a beautiful wedding tradition where you put on a 30-minute performance. They have the most incredible performers in her family and a lot of friends and family that are Bollywood stars, [so] for us to go out there and think that we know what we’re doing [was silly]. Even though we had some songs that we could sing from our past, there was still a lot of dancing that we were trying to pick up in a week’s time. They definitely crushed us. They won the Sangeet.”
Joe also opened up about having to deliver the best man speech at the couple’s nuptials, and how nervous he got speaking to his brother and his new sister-in-law.
“I think it was pretty good,” he said. “I kind of blacked out for a minute because I was just overwhelmed with emotion. This not only [was] because he’s my brother and best friend, but to see him marrying his dream girl, there were a lot of tears the whole weekend and a lot of smiles. … It was a special, special week.”
As for Joe himself, who is engaged to Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, being a part of Nick’s wedding did spark some ideas, but the weekend, he emphasized, was totally about them and not his own pending nuptials.

“That week was all about them, and celebrating the two of them, and experiencing and looking back, I’m just in awe,” he said. “Yeah, my time will come, but I’m just thrilled for the two of them.”
Kevin also revealed some inside moments from the wedding on Thursday, including a family portrait from the second wedding ceremony. “Congrats you guys!” he wrote. “Wishing you the most love and happiness!”
