News of the couple’s nuptials came as a major surprise to their fans, especially since Joe and Sophie had been open about their plans for a summer wedding in France. So what made them decide to tie the knot in Vegas?
“They knew they needed to have a legal ceremony in the US and decided a few weeks ago to do it in Vegas after the Billboard Awards,” a source tells 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 insider continues. “A friend paid and set up the entire thing.”
The source also tells E! News that Joe and Turner are “just so excited to be together and to be married.”
“Their real wedding will be in France this summer, but they thought this would be a fun way to make it legal,” the insider shares. “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.”
Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Jonas!
