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 part for the girl 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.

“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," Jonas and Chopra both captioned their respective posts. "And so planning our wedding with an amalgamation of both was so so amazing. An important part for the girl 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."

This is the first look too at the Ralph Lauren ensembles both Chopra and Jonas wore during their Christian ceremony on Saturday. Ralph Lauren confirmed itself then that Chopra and Jonas wore custom outfits from the designer and also outfitted their bridesmaids and groomsmen in the label.

The couple, People reported, exchanged Chopard wedding bands. This is the first look at them, as well.

Chopra and Jonas had their traditional Hindu ceremony on Sunday. Their spacing out the ceremonies over two days may explain their initial delay in posting about the news. But the couple explained to Voguethat they did their wedding this way, from the engagement ceremony to the nuptials, to honor both of their traditions. Of the roka alone, Jonas described it to Vogue as "two very different cultures and religious backgrounds, and the beauty of it was, there was so much love and acceptance for our side.”
