And some people made some striking comparisons.While others pointed out that it trumped the Duchess of Sussex's wedding veil, which was 16ft long.Chopra donned the hand-beaded Ralph Lauren dress in a ceremony on Saturday on the lawn of the Umaid Bhawan Palace in the city of Jodphur.
The ceremony was officiated by Jonas' father Paul Kevin Jonas, a pastor.Speaking to People magazine, Chopra said the wedding was a "religious mash-up", adding that they "took beautiful traditions that we both grew up with and personalised them in a way that makes sense for us".The couple's three-day wedding extravaganza also included a traditional Hindu ceremony on Sunday, which saw the couple exchange vows again.
