Here’s the Real Reason Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas Got Married in Las Vegas

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas surprised us all this week when they popped over to a wedding chapel in Las Vegas after the Billboard Music Awards and got married.

The wedding honestly sounded pretty awesome. Kevin and Nick were there, along with their respective wives, Danielle Jonas and Priyanka Chopra; Dan + Shay sang while Turner walked down the aisle in a chic white jumpsuit; Ring Pops were involved; and an Elvis impersonator did the honors. Oh, and Diplo documented the whole ceremony on Instagram. E! reports that Turner and Jonas are "just so excited to be together and to be married."

Now we have a little more insight into why the impromptu wedding happened in the first place—especially given their previous plans to wed in France this summer. "They knew they needed to have a legal ceremony in the U.S. and decided a few weeks ago to do it in Vegas after the Billboard Awards," a source told E! News. "Some of their friends and family would be there, so it felt like the perfect timing."

"They booked the chapel for a big block of the night to make sure they had it to themselves and that the timing could be spontaneous," the source continued. "A friend paid and set up the entire thing." But the wedding in France is still a go. "Their real wedding will be in France this summer, but they thought this would be a fun way to make it legal," the source said. "They wanted to have it planned out in advance to give friends a chance to come. It was a fun night in Vegas and it worked out perfectly."

The couple seems like a super-fun hang, so we can't wait to see what they do for their European ceremony. Hopefully, some of Turner's Game of Thrones costars will make appearances. And can we please get footage of a sure-to-be hilarious speech from her BFF Maisie Williams?
