Sophie Turner & Joe Jonas had a surprise Vegas wedding after the BMAs

'Game of Thrones' season 8 premiere

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner both attended last night’s Billboard Music Awards. They did not walk the carpet together though – Joe walked with his brothers, and Sophie walked the carpet with one of her X-Men: Dark Phoenix costars, Tye Sheridan. Sophie was there as a presenter, Joe was there to perform. They sat together though, obviously, because they’ve been together for several years and they’ve been engaged since October 2017. About that… they up and got married after the BMAs:

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner just tied the knot! After the couple’s adorable night at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas — where Joe and his brothers performed in their first awards show since announcing the JoBros reunion earlier this year — it seems they hit up a local wedding chapel to tie the knot.

The first hint at the festivities came on Diplo’s Instagram Story, where the DJ shared a clip of Turner in a white dress, entering a Vegas chapel with Jonas and his brothers, who were dressed in suits. “Gonna hit up this wedding real quick,” Diplo captioned the clip. ET confirmed the union with a copy of the couple’s marriage license, which they obtained earlier in the day. Later videos from Diplo’s Instagram showed the Game of Thrones star walking down a short aisle, surrounded by friends and fellow BBMA attendees, like singer Khalid. The actress’ bridal ensemble was completed with a veil and blinking bouquet, as country stars Dan + Shay played their hit “Speechless.”

[From ET]

Weirdly, the vibe wasn’t “crazy Vegas elopement.” Like, they didn’t just suddenly decide to get married while they were sitting at the BMAs. I think they maybe put one week’s thought into it, and Sophie bought a white dress and Joe asked his brothers if they would come with him after the Billboard Music Awards, and maybe while they there last night, they told their friends to come by after the show and watch their wedding. So… that happened. I hope Joe knows he’ll never be good enough for our Sansa Stark. *sob*

Here are Diplo’s IG Stories about the wedding:

Sophie’s BMAs look was Louis Vuitton, btw. She looked like a high-fashion White Walker with her pale skin and blue eyes.

    They make sense as a couple to me. Congrats to both of them!

  2. CharliePenn says:

    That’s freakin adorable

  3. LoonyTunes says:

    Maybe they decided on this route after sitting through his brother’s 457,876 weddings…

    • Gigi says:

      Haha makes sense.
      A good gossip day. Jude Law got married too.

    • Becks1 says:

      Hahahahahaha yes. It’s like the anti-Chopra/Jonas wedding.

      seriously though it sounds like it was sweet and not an elopement, they probably figured – “we are here, your brothers are here, lets just do this.”

      I think for some celebs, the aspects of a wedding that appeal to non-celebs aren’t as big a deal, so they have some more freedom. Like for me, wearing a gorgeous dress was amazing. But for some of these people, they wear a gorgeous designer dress to premieres/events several days a week. They get their makeup and hair done constantly. etc. so I can see the appeal for some of them to go a different route than a traditional wedding.

      ETA and before people come for me, I know that not every non-celeb has a big “traditional” wedding. I’m speaking in generalities.

    • SM says:

      That was my initial reaction too. Which makes it kind of nice to me- marriage should be about two people creating a union. You do not need a world tour for that.
      Also: “Joe walked with her brothers” – is that a typo or a shade? 🙂

    • Mgsota says:

      I got married in Vegas in a non elopement wedding. We also had been engaged for over a year, planning a traditional wedding, then decided on Vegas. Planned it in about 4 weeks. We had about 25 of our friends and family there. We had a reception afterwards. It was a blast, it was stress free and I have no regrets. It was also under $3000! That was 17 years ago Monday!

      • Lightpurple says:

        My cousin eloped to Las Vegas. Or she tried. They were in the Bellagio lobby, heading for a chapel, when they unexpectedly ran into my parents and my mom’s sister and her boyfriend. So, my parents and my aunt went along to the wedding. My dad walked her down the chapel aisle and took them all out to dinner afterwards. My cousin said she was so happy it worked out that way.

      • Ae says:

        Hooray for Vegas brides! My hubs and I got married at the Paris 16 years ago and no regrets!

    • Erinn says:

      I was just about to say that exact thing.

      The year we got married I had to go to about 4 other weddings before ours. And by the time ours rolled around I was SO over it. We should have done an elopement, really. So I applaud these two for just being like ‘meh, we don’t need the spectacle’ assuming they really didn’t want it.

    • sunny says:

      My very first thought was that. I mean the Jonas family must be so sick of weddings.

    • RoyalBlue says:

      As the Jonas are a super religious family I imagine they will have the religious ceremony later. So have no fear, this was just the first of many celebrations Jonas-style!!

    • Eleonor says:

      SSSSSH! Those two haven’t done a Vegas wedding. Don’t even try to suggest it! LOL

    • fiona says:

      I think they will still have a larger wedding because Sophie recently confirmed that Maisie was a maid of honour (or maybe just a bridesmaid?)

  4. runcmc says:

    Good for them!!!! We’re planning our wedding now and honestly I wanna chuck it and have a low-key celebration like this. Weddings are SUCH a hassle!

    I’d be curious about who attended (besides Diplo and the Jonas brothers!) Priyanka wore a white dress to the BMAs…did she attend? Did she change clothes? Did Maisie Williams fly out for it?

    • Jess says:

      Do it! Thats what we did and I have no regrets. We spent a few months trying to plan a big wedding and we picked 3 or 4 different dates but someone in our family would always complain and we’d have to change it, and his mom kept trying to take over, so we said f it and decided to get married in 3 weeks, lol. We picked a cute little outdoor area on a local mountain and paid a caterer to bring food to our house, we sent out texts and said this is the date come if you can! It was a beautiful day:)

    • Swack says:

      Agree with Jess, do it I wish I had had a low keyed wedding. I did it more for my mom than anything. She had to get married on the down low because she could not be married and work the job she had at the time.

    • Eliza says:

      Haha i begged my husband to elope. It just was so big, and dramatic. All for what? I didn’t care about the big party. My husband was the one who told me that while it’s crazy and stupid, we’re doing this for our families and all they’ve done for us. “Ceremony is for us, reception is for them.” Still would have rather eloped lol but the day itself was oddly zen given the drama leading up.

      • runcmc says:

        Yeah this is where we are! I’m an only daughter and my parents have been saving for and looking forward to my wedding since I was born. And my fiancé is an only son, and his father’s only child. Plus we both grew up lower middle class but my parents are now wealthy, and we are upper middle class ourselves. We have the means and we have two families that are SO excited about a proper wedding.

        We tell ourselves, the marriage is for us. The wedding is for our families. But I really wish they’d take over planning 😂😂😂

      • Dee Kay says:

        My husband and I would have happily eloped to Vegas — he even offered it as an option when he proposed — but we knew that we couldn’t do it, we had to have a big wedding for our huge Catholic families. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law were overly invested and controlling during the planning but I think and hope that they loved the result. My husband and I, on the other hand, would have much preferred something small and simple. When we renew our vows on our 25th anniversary or whatever, I swear it will just be the two of us on a beach at sunset, in nice clothes, and afterwards we’ll go to a great bar. That’s my ideal wedding.

    • manda says:

      Do it! My husband and I got married in vegas with our closets friends and parents and siblings (so about 20 people). It was so much fun! And the casino people took care of everything. The food was delicious, the weather was great, the parking was free (I love parking at casinos), and there was something for everyone. It was so much fun walking around in my dress, people just love to see weddings. It is sad not to invite EVERY person you’d love to see, but we just didn’t have the budget for that, and having it small meant that we could splurge on the top shelf liquor, the beef wellington, and the favors and treats for our guests.

      • Aims says:

        My husband and I eloped. It cost us 75 dollars and we’ve been married for 22 years. It was the best 75 dollars we’ve ever spent. We never wanted a large wedding, we wanted a marriage and a partnership. It comes down to two people who are committed to each other, not wedding colors and abusridty amount of money.

  5. Dttimes2 says:

    But Maisie wasnt there. I thought they were BFFs

    • Alissa says:

      yeah, I thought it was confirmed that Maisie was a bridesmaid?

    • Div says:

      Is it possible she was there and just didn’t get photographed? Even if it was planned in a week, and not the same day, maybe Maisie had something she couldn’t get out of….

    • Ainsley7 says:

      I noticed that as well. Maisie said in an interview that she was worried about what to wear to the wedding and then Sophie was asked about it and said it was weird because she was giving Maisie a dress. So, there were clearly plans. It’s weird that she wasn’t there.

      • Erinn says:

        That is interesting. I wonder if they are going to do some other celebration later? Like they got the actual marriage part over, but will have some more formal photos and a party later on?

        I think that’s what I’d want to do if I were to do it all over. Have a really tiny, intimate ceremony then just have fun.

  6. Chisey says:

    I love that they were married by an Elvis impersonator 😂.

  7. babsjohnson says:

    Sophie looks like Uma Thurman in the last pic. Congrats to them! Weddings like these are so refreshing.

  8. Digital Unicorn says:

    Congrats, thou I must admit I don’t know much about him other than he dated Taylor Swift and aren’t he and his brothers very religious (i.e. evangelicals)? Maybe am thinking of someone else.

  9. Myrtle says:

    Hit this wedding?! Oh well. May they live happily ever after… xo

  10. xdanix says:

    So Nick’s 9000 weddings didn’t just make HIM sick of elaborate weddings apparently…

    These two have really grown on me, I must admit. I thought she was a bit young for him when they got together and engaged, but they seem REALLY in love and are actually pretty damn charming together. Long may it last for them!

  11. DC Cliche says:

    I don’t watch Game of Thrones but where was Maisie? That is really the only thing I care about here.

  12. Debbydoo says:

    She’s wearing trousers/pants – pause the video at 42 seconds and you can see the bottom half is two wide trouser legs, not a dress.

    • original_kellybean says:

      I was going to say that too. Those are pants, not a dress.

      • Debbydoo says:

        I’m at that age where I like the outfit because of how comfy those pants look 🙂

    • olive says:

      yeah, there’s photos of her and Joe sitting on a pink car after the wedding and it’s clearly a wide-legged jumpsuit, not a dress.

  13. Kk2 says:

    Weren’t they planning a wedding in France this summer? I bet this was just the civil marriage and there is a big summer wedding to come. Looks more fun than the courthouse!

    • Sarah B says:

      I bet you’re right!

    • leners says:

      I’m not a marriage expert, but I don’t think they can get legally married in france without being residents, so I agree this is probably just them taking advantage of being in vegas to get the civil one out of the way!

      • paddingtonjr says:

        They would have reside in France for at least 30 days and, if they are only having a religious ceremony there, show proof of a civil marriage. So many foreigners wanting to get married in France have a small civil ceremony in their home country and then have a big religious ceremony in France.

  14. Kittycat says:

    Congrats!

  15. Lucy says:

    Congrats!! I believe in Jophie. They seem like the real deal to me. I like him and I LOVE her.

  16. Sean says:

    That bottom picture of the Jonas Brothers, I know they’re wearing suits but they look like PJs to me. Am I alone in that?

  17. Lindy says:

    She seems very happy so maybe this is kind of mean of me, but it feels like she could do so much better. He’s so unattractive to me. Maybe he has an amazing personality? She’s so witty and loyal and down to earth, and beautiful. He’s the biggest meh ever.

  18. lower case lila says:

    I wish them luck and fun way to have a wedding. But, I hate to be a naysayer. What is the rush? She is 22 and her career is just beginning and there is a world to explore. I hope they have a prenuptial agreement before they did this.

    • Starkiller says:

      There is absolutely no way this will last. She is so far out of his league it’s laughable. Jonas probably thought he was being slick by getting her when she was young and impressionable. Once she (rightly) realizes how much better she can do, she will be gone. Whether that happens in a year, five years, a month, who can say.

      • Digital Unicorn says:

        Yeah I agree, give it a few years once she has grown up some more and she’ll leave. Her star is going to continue to rise, his won’t go much farther than it has now.

        And I totally agree she is way way out of his league.

      • Erinn says:

        I don’t know how great of a career she will have. Other than playing Sansa the only thing I’ve seen her in is X-Men stuff – I have never thought of her as a great actress outside of GoT. And that Dark Phoenix movie looks like an absolute shit show, and we all know how they like to blame an actress if something is a flop.

        I mean – I hope she has a great career, especially since she’s so young. But I’m not sure she’s going to be a huge star outside of the series.

    • hal says:

      Yes, I have to say the fact that she is, like, 22 is enough to give me pause. Not to say that getting married in your early 20s is guaranteed to end in disaster, but she has never struck me as particularly mature for her age and, as far as I know, this is her first serious relationship and the first one she’s been in whilst being 18+ (she confirmed that he started courting her a couple years ago when she was 19 after Hailee Stienfield put them in touch).

      I wish them well though.

    • Avis says:

      Joe wants to get King of the North on lockdown.

  19. Millenial says:

    Would not have pegged them for Dan + Shay fans (who sang Speechless as they walked down the aisle, and who sound exactly like Rascal Flats to me).

  20. Case says:

    This is lovely. They seem like a great, solid couple, and I just love Sophie Turner as a human. Congrats to them!

    I suspect they have a more formal ceremony planned in which Maisie will be a bridesmaid and their families will be in attendance, etc. In fact, I seem to recall People or some other tabloid reporting that their invitations were leaked, and it wasn’t a Vegas ceremony, lol. I think it’ll be in France if I recall correctly.

  21. ME says:

    So many rich people are having simple weddings, yet those that can’t afford a big wedding are doing so and going into debt for it ! As an Indian I can tell you my people are way out of control when it comes to weddings ! I like they kept it low key. Congrats to them !

  22. Texas says:

    I always wanted to get married in an Elvis Chapel in Vegas. But After two giant fun weddings (and less fun divorces), my 3rd husband and I got married by a JP, had a low key reception at a cool Chinese restaurant and have been blissfully married for 11 years (together for 16). I loved my big weddings and the marriages that followed. After all, they produced my two beautiful children. But what came after the weddings is what made the difference.

  23. Winnie Cooper’s Mom says:

    But I thought Nick and Priyanka were going to have one last ceremony, how dare Sophie and Joe steal their thunder!!! 😉

  24. CuriousCole says:

    In my eyes, if Maisie wasn’t there, then they can’t be properly wed 😛 How could she have gotten married without her girl??

  25. Amelie says:

    Maybe it’s just me but Las Vegas is the last place I’d want to get married. I understand the convenience of it since you can do it quick but LV is so tacky and so gross to me. I went there once and it was enough. Some of the shows are great but I hate casinos it’s just not my scene. If I was going to elope I’d go to the local City Hall. It’s just easier than flying all the way to Vegas and getting a hotel etc.

    • Sean says:

      While she is quite young, why are people saying he’s out of her league or she’ll leave him when she’s older? Even if you don’t find him physically attractive, maybe they get along really well personality-wise.

      Also, even if she does become a bigger star than him, who’s to say he’d have a problem with that? Perhaps he’d support her.

    • hogtowngooner says:

      Same. Went to LV once and zero desire to go back, especially to get married. I agree with you, go to your City Hall then treat yourselves to a beautiful dinner in the fanciest restaurant in town. Way more up my alley!

    • Snowflake says:

      Glad to know others feel that way! I’ve been a couple times but very UNDERwhelmed. I’m not a gambler or card player. I feel Vegas is dirty, people aren’t friendly and hot as h e l l and not much around the area. And I’m from Florida but the heat there feels you stuck your head in the oven!

  26. Cindy says:

    Congrats to them but boy I just hate that blonde color on her. It ages her in a bad way. From those pics Id guess she was 7 years older than him instead of the other way round.

    With her beautiful pale skin and blue eyes, I think she’d be a total goth knock-out with black hair.

    • TheMummy says:

      The crazy thing is that her blonde is her actual color. And it looks so bad. But it’s the color she was born with.

  27. Oceanbreeze says:

    Give it 14 months. Tops.

  28. Mash says:

    That’s what my fiance and I are doing …we are both anti wedding people…but fam wants to be there so we’re applying for the certificate and scheduling the courthouse date for late july (the 2yr anniversary of our first meeting and date) and then having a blowout cookout at our house.

    max should cost like $45 🙂

  29. Lilly (with the double_L) says:

    They seem so happy together and best wishes to the happy couple. My god, what pulchritudinous family gatherings they’ll have.

  30. TheMummy says:

    That was a pantsuit! Not a dress. A satin, white, wedding pantsuit with a veil. You can very clearly see it in that IG video when she walks down the aisle.

  31. HeyThere! says:

    I love them as a couple. I wanted to elope and was talked out of it. I still loved my wedding…it was just larger than I wanted! My husband and I want to ‘elope’ in Vegas for our five year anniversary and just have fun.

  32. Alyse says:

    Love her, and they seem like a great couple! Best wishes

  33. Patty says:

    It will be interesting to see what her post GoT career is like. I think she’ll continue to get work but I don’t know if she’ll ever be an in demand A-list actress, which actually bodes well for their future. If she becomes a huge star, I don’t think they’ll last – I’d give it 2-3 years. But, if she stays at the level of fame she is now, I could see them staying married for at least a decade.
