The pre-wedding party
Priyanka dazzled in a traditional Indian rainbow gown by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla and Nick also took the traditional approach by wearing a kurta by the same designer. The lovebirds looked happy and relaxed at their mehendi ceremony, which is a Hindu wedding ritual that takes place one or two days before the wedding. Taking to Instagram, Priyanka wrote: "One of the most special things 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." She added: "Once again we made it our own and it was an afternoon that kicked off the celebrations in the way we both dreamed."
