Sophie Turner is now officially Sophie Jonas following her surprise Vegas Wedding to Joe Jonas on May 2. According to the couple’s official marriage license, the Game of Thrones actress chose to change her name from Sophie Belinda Turner to Sophie Belinda Jonas after tying the knot.
According to court documents, the couple applied for the marriage license the morning of their wedding day, and the nuptials weren’t as spontaneous as they seemed. Their officiant, Jesse Grice (who is also an Elvis impersonator) told TMZ that the Jonases booked the entire venue, the Little White Wedding Chapel, a week in advance.

A source told People that the Jonas Brother and marie claire Australia June cover star wed in the US so that their marriage is legitimate when they say “I do” later in the year in France. “A lot of my happiness is to do with the person I’ve fallen in love with,” the Game of Thrones actress tells marie claire Australia.
“They had to get married in the States to make it legal, but the wedding is still in Europe,” the source said.
Per the US 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.
