A source exclusively told PEOPLE following the event that Jonas and Turner wed in the U.S.so that their marriage is legitimatewhen they tie the knot at a bigger ceremony in France.
“They had to get married in the States to make it legal, but the wedding is still in Europe,” the insider told PEOPLE, while reps for the stars did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment and the former DNCE frontman previously confirmed to PEOPLE that he and Turner areplanning a wedding in France.
Per theU.S. Embassy & Consulates in France, “At least one of the parties to be married must have resided in France for at least forty days immediately preceding the marriage. This precludes a wedding in cases where both parties are only visiting for a short stay.”
Furthermore, “In France a religious ceremony does not constitute a legal marriage.” Because of such residency restrictions, international couples often have a legal wedding before a religious or symbolic ceremony in France.
