Sophie Turner marries beau Joe Jonas in surprise Vegas wedding
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner has just gotten married to her fiancé, singer Joe Jonas, in a surprise wedding ceremony held in Las Vegas. Reportedly, Turner and Joe were in Vegas for the Billboard Music Awards (BBMA) ceremony yesterday and decided to get married later that night in a local chapel. Read on to find out more details about their surprise wedding.
Following the performance by the Jonas Brothers, an American pop-rock band comprising brothers Kevin, Nick, and Joe, at the BBMAs, 23-year-old Turner headed off to the famous A Little White Chapel to get married to Joe (29). The wedding, which reportedly cost $600 (Rs. 42,000), was officiated by an Elvis impersonator and Turner's sister-in-law, Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra, served as the maid of honor.

Pictures of the newlyweds, hopped on top of a Pink Cadillac, which were part of their drive-thru wedding package, have already gone viral and fans are in shock. "Sophie Turner became terrified of formal big weddings after seeing Sansa's luck in that regard so she said f**k it we're getting ring pops and heading to vegas b***h," wrote one Twitter user.
Earlier that night at the BBMAs, the brothers performed together on stage for the first time in 10 years. They performed their latest single Sucker, a BillBoard's Hot 100 song. They also announced a Jonas Brothers tour for their upcoming album, Happy Beginnings.
The couple had announced their engagement in October 2017, and rumors were circulating that they were about to get married sometime later that year. The two have been dating since November 2016 after frequenting at parties together. The Turner and Jonas wedding is in 'stark' (pun intended) contrast to Nick Jonas' and Priyanka Chopra's four-day extravagant wedding affair conducted last year.
Although their wedding has come as a huge surprise to fans, Turner and Jonas are really not the first celebrity couple to have eloped. In the past, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Rita Hayworth and Dick Haymes, Paul Newman and JoAnn Woodward, and Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, had all eloped and had low-key ceremonies at the same Vegas venue.
