Reliving the ceremony, Priyanka shared about the merge of cultures:

One of the most special things that our relationship has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each other’s faiths and cultures. And so planning our wedding with an amalgamation of both was so so amazing. An important of the pre-wedding rituals in an Indian wedding is the Mehendi. Once again we made it our own and it was an afternoon that kicked off the celebrations in the way we both dreamed.

They sang and danced LIVE, including lip syncing Hindi songs!! Damn,we should have known. All of this- but the spirit of competition was overpowered with love, happiness, laughs, whistles, cheering and noise! Wow, wow, wow. WHAT A NIGHT. P.S. We shared the trophy
