In an exclusive interview with People magazine, Priyanka spoke about her joy in combining her and Nick’s different cultures in the wedding ceremonies.

She said: “I love that our wedding was a religious mash-up. We took beautiful traditions that we both grew up with and personalised them in a way that made 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.”
