It's time to celebrate life as newlyweds with some Southern hospitality.
Close to two months after Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra first exchanged vows in India, the Hollywood couple traveled to Nellie's Southern Kitchen in Belmont, North Carolina for what appears to be another wedding celebration.
In pictures posted on social media, the bride and groom celebrated their new status as husband and wife with a delicious gathering that included music, dancing and great food with family and friends.
"Nick and Priyanka just got hitched but that knot that they tied has not been dipped in gravy or honey or hot chicken grease," a sign read inside the restaurant space. "So it's time we throw them a Nellie's Southern feast. Mama and Papa J invite you with pride to come celebrate their boy and his bride."
And for those who may not know, Nellie's Southern Kitchen was inspired by Kevin Jonas Sr.'s grandmother Nellie Jonas who passed away in 2011.
E! News has learned the kitchen was closed this Sunday for a private event.
Before enjoying a tasty meal, Priyanka was seen wearing a white dress with a floral print as she held hands with her man. As for Nick, he kept things handsome in a forest green button-down and dark pants.
Social media posts also showed the couple walking out to Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" before sharing a piece of cake together.
Ever since becoming husband and wife, both Nick and Priyanka have continued to take their love story around the world. In addition to a Caribbean honeymoon, the twosome most recently enjoyed a date night at Craig's in Los Angeles.
"I can go into all of it and get all mushy, but I think the thing that really connected both of us was our love for family and faith and the importance of being connected to those," Nick previously shared with E! News' Jason Kennedy on the Today show. "They are always going to be there for you. We found that in each other as well, which is a beautiful thing and I'm excited to start our lives together."
Congratulations you love birds.

Bride goes viral for asking wedding guests to leave for bringing their children to wedding
UNDATED (WKRC) - An anonymous bride is going viral after her Reddit post, asking if she was wrong in kicking out a couple and their two kids from the bride and groom's "kids-free" wedding.
According to the Reddit post, the wedding guests couple, who are long-time family friends that the bride says she "felt that I should invite" them, brought their infant and toddler children, despite the wedding invitations specifically stating that there would be no children at the wedding.
The bride says that she let is slide during the wedding ceremony, but thought that perhaps the couple had planned on not going to the receptions or having someone pick up the kids before the reception.
When the couple showed up to the reception with the children, she asked her wedding planner to go and talk to the couple regarding the plans for the children. However, the couple began arguing with the event planner, causing the bride to step in.
The bride reminded the couple that the invitations clearly stated that it would be a kids-free wedding and reception. The wife gave a "sort of apology" to the bride, saying the couple was capable of minding their own children to make sure they weren't in the way of the festivities.
Things began getting heated when the groom intervened and began arguing with the husband, prompting the bride to ask the couple to leave.
Still, the whole scene was incredibly embarrassing which is exactly what I wanted to avoid," the bride said in the Reddit post. "I really hate that my wedding day had to be somewhat marred by this incident. According to my mother, everyone was talking about it and I guess enjoying a little dramatic entertainment."
Many of the comments on the Reddit post were agreeing with the bride, however there were some comments that disagreed with the bride's decision.

Miguel and Nazanin Mandi Share Their Wedding Party Playlists
This past weekend, R&B star Miguel married his longtime girlfriend, model Nazanin Mandi. The 260-guest celebration, held at a Spanish-style estate in Los Angeles, was full of great music, starting with a wedding band curated by Miguel's cousin Mireya Ramos of the mariachi group Flor de Toloache. "Music is always going to be a part of everything we do, first and foremost," Miguel says, speaking with Rolling Stone shortly before the big day. "We really wanted the music to tell our story."
Each half of the couple also put together a personalized playlist for their day-of wedding preparations, which you can hear right here. Miguel's, which he titled "Victory Lap," is packed with classic party songs that he selected with help from his nine groomsmen.
The setlist opens with UGK and OutKast's "International Players Anthem," likely the greatest rap song about a wedding ever recorded. For Miguel, who met his future wife more than a decade ago at a music video casting call for his pre-fame single "Getcha Hands Up," it's a nod to the history they share. "I don't think there's any better, more relatable verse than André's in this song," he says. "Naz and I have been together for almost 13 years, and this sets up the journey."
The story continues with songs like the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy." "Naz and I used to ride around in my 1999 Ford Ranger truck that my dad gave me," Miguel recalls. "It had a big dent in the front, right above the left tire. We used to pull up to clubs together and hop out like we were in a Lamborghini. We came up together. ‘Juicy' is a reminder of that."
Miguel's playlist ends on a high note with Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" — "I had to end it with one of my favorite West Coast MCs of all time" — and Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya." "That one's just for fun," he notes. "It's the ultimate clown song."
Mandi's playlist, meanwhile, shows off her excellent taste in rap, R&B and dance music. "I chose songs that are classic, yet very modern, which is very representative of our romance," she says. "I also chose certain songs for my girls, because I want to make them feel sexy and confident — myself included."
Along with selections from Beyoncé, Prince, Kanye West, Nineties house singer Crystal Waters, rising R&B star Sabrina Claudio and more, she chose two songs by her husband-to-be. "I mean, a wedding playlist wouldn't be complete without Miguel, the ultimate sex symbol," Mandi says. "I had to add him."

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's Potential Wedding Date Is Already Causing Drama
Three months after Nick Jonas proposed to Priyanka Chopra, the celeb lovebirds are preparing to tie the knot in India at the end of November — during what is turning out to be an incredibly busy wedding season, one that has Indian publications worrying about potential “clashes.” Draaaaama.
According to the Hindustan Times, as many as three of the entertainment industry's most famous couples are planning to tie the knot soon after Diwali: Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, actor-comedian Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath, and Jonas and Chopra. While Padukone and Singh — or DeepVeer, to use their portmanteau nickname — and Sharma and Chatrath have both officially announced their wedding dates, November 14 or 15 and December 12, respectively, Jonas and Chopra have not yet, though the Times reports that the couple's Sangeet and Mehndi services will start on November 29. So far, no problem.
Except there is an issue that has the potential to cause drama. Per popular Indian wedding website BollywoodShaadis.com, DeepVeer is having their major Mumbai reception for all of their celeb friends at the Grand Hyatt on December 1 — the same day that Jonas and Chopra are reportedly planning their ceremony at Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
“Deepika-Ranveer's reception to clash with Priyanka-Nick's wedding?” reads the headline at India's The Economic Times, a sentiment expressed by numerous outlets in their coverage of the coinciding ceremonies.
So who's to blame here? Well, while DeepVeer only announced their ceremony this past Sunday, Jonas and Chopra have not yet officially revealed their wedding dates. Furthermore, DeepVeer has been engaged since January 2018 — that's six whole months longer than Jonas and Chopra (which, in young celebrity years, is equivalent to nearly three-and-a-half years in normal human time).

Kate Middleton's BFF Wore a Wedding Dress That Looked a LOT Like Hers
One of Kate Middleton's closest friends, Sophie Carter, wed Robert Snuggs at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Norfolk this past weekend at a ceremony and reception that was attended by none other than the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge themselves, along with Prince George and the bride's goddaughter, Princess Charlotte.
Given that Will and Kate have maintained close connections with their small, tight-knit group of friends, it was no surprise that Charlotte was back in her familiar role as flower girl for her godmother's wedding. Prince George was also a part of the wedding party as a page boy, making this the third time the brother-sister duo has participated in a major, public wedding. And while the kids would typically steal the show at any royal—or royal adjacent—wedding, it seems that Carter's wedding dress pulled some focus from their adorable antics. Her gown looked...familiar, to say the least.
The collared, deep-V neckline of the lace bodice bore much resemblance to Kate's custom Alexander McQueen gown by Sarah Burton. But there were also some differences: rather than a full, lace-appliquéd skirt, Carter's wedding gown was a simple silk crepe; and rather than a diamond tiara from the crowned jewels, Carter donned a silk headband, and accented the look with a lace-trimmed veil.
Carter is one of Kate's closest friends, reports People. Not only do the two spend a ton of time together—and have been spotted playing tennis and out on the town together—but Carter used to date Prince William's dear friend, Thomas van Straubenzee, whose brother, Charlie van Straubenzee (a good friend of Harry's), wed Daisy Jenks this summer. Per People, Sophie's brother Robert Carter married one of Kate's friends from university, Hannah Gillingam. The two were married on April 29th, 2012; the date of Will and Kate's first anniversary. Hannah recently was honored with the role of Prince Louis' godmother.
With their long history as close friends, one would have to assume that Kate had a possible preview to Sophie's dress prior to her big day, or perhaps Sophie was simply inspired by her friend's epic royal wedding gown. Perhaps after seven years and three children, the two just didn't see the resemblance in the lead-up to Carter's big day. But, the bodice similarities do beg the question, is imitation truly the sincerest form of flattery?
