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?

Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress to go on public display
The Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress, described by aficionados as among the most elegant and minimal bridal designs in the history of royal weddings, is to go on public display.
Meghan Markle surprised the fashion world by picking the French fashion house Givenchy, but entrusted the design to Clare Waight Keller, the British artistic director for Givenchy Couture, whom she chose for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, and impeccable tailoring.
The result was a simple, white dress with distinctive boat neckline bodice and five-metre-long veil, first glimpsed by an international television audience as the bride ascended the steps at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 19 May.
The Duke of Sussex's frock coat uniform of the Household Cavalry (the Blues and Royals), specially commissioned for his wedding and made by Savile Row tailors Dege & Skinner, will also go on display.
Waight Keller worked closely with the bride on the design. The dress is made from an exclusive double-bonded silk cady, developed by Waight Keller following extensive research in fabric mills throughout Europe. Its graceful lines were achieved using six meticulously placed seams which extend towards the back of the dress where the train flows, and cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza.
The silk tulle veil is embroidered with flowers from the 53 countries of the Commonwealth, to symbolise Prince Harry's appointment as a youth ambassador for the organisation. In addition, the bride added wintersweet, which grows in the couple's Kensington Palace garden, and a California poppy, the state flower of her birthplace.
Fans of fashion and of royalty will be offered a close-up view of the wedding outfits at Windsor Castle from 26 October to 6 January, and at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, from 14 June to 6 October 2019.
The exhibition, A Royal Wedding, by the Royal Collection Trust, will also include the diamond and platinum bandeau tiara, lent by the Queen, and which will be on public display for the first time since it was designed in 1932 for the monarch's grandmother, Queen Mary.

Beth Behrs and Michael Gladis Are Married! See Their Wedding Photo
The couple got married Saturday at Moose Creek Ranch in Victor, Idaho, in a rustic-chic ceremony planned by Angel Swanson of Love and Splendor, as exclusively reported by Martha Stewart Weddings.
Behrs, who starred as down-on-her-luck heiress Caroline Channing in 2 Broke Girls for six seasons, had been dating Gladis for more than half a decade before they got engaged in a romantic rooftop setting at sunset in July 2016.
She’d previously told PEOPLE that being with her beau helped to significantly improve her culinary skills, saying, "We cook together. He actually has taught me about cooking. When we met I didn’t know where kale was in the grocery store. There’s this Indian-inspired chicken saagwala, but we do the healthy version. We use nonfat Greek yogurt instead of cream. And spinach. And we have a very nice bottle of Italian wine."
Hopefully their real life as a married couple will be a lot more peaceful than what fans saw of their mock marriage for a 2012 Funny or Die video called "The Argument," because that was a disaster — albeit, a hilarious one.
Gladis is perhaps best known for his role as Paul Kinsey in Mad Men, but he also enjoyed regular roles in TV’s Reckless, Extant, and Feed the Beast. Meanwhile, Behrs returns to the small screen alongside Max Greenfield and Cedric the Entertainer this fall for CBS’s new series The Neighborhood, which premieres Oct. 1.

Some of Kit Harington and Rose Leslie's Game of Thrones Co-Stars Didn't Make It to the Wedding
Kit Harington's long-awaited wedding to Rose Leslie was nothing short of fairytale. But not everyone from Game of Thrones got an invite to the big day.
Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams attended the wedding together, wearing the cutest matching outfits for the occasion. Emilia Clarke also put in an appearance, wearing a gorgeous pink, floral dress with a matching coat.
Co-star Peter Dinklage was also photographed walking into the church, along with fellow actors Liam Cunningham, John Bradley, Joe Dempsie, and Ben Crompton. Even Richard Madden put in an appearance at the nuptials, wearing a kilt. But who didn't make it to Rose and Kit's wedding?
Lena Headey, who of course plays Cercei Lannister on the show, was notably absent from the big day. Fellow co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau also didn't make it to Scotland for Harington and Leslie's wedding. Instead, the actor appeared to be in Bordeaux, as he posted several video clips of the city on Instagram.
Metro reports that "Gwendoline Christie was sitting front and centre for Dior Homme at Paris Fashion Week yesterday, which means Brienne of Tarth couldn’t cheer on the boy who knows nothing."
Metro also reports that Kristofer Hivju, who plays Tormund Giantsbane, and Natalie Dormer were missing, as was Alfie Allen, who was apparently filming a new project.
But despite a few co-star absences, Harington and Leslie's wedding was completely gorgeous, from its country church service, to its reception in a castle. Leslie's wedding gown was nothing short of jawdropping, and both the bride and groom looked ecstatic to be tying the knot.
