Elvis then told Joe: 'You may kiss the bride', which he did as the guests whooped and hollered.
In the couple's marriage certificate, obtained by TMZ, the Game Of Thrones actress will now be going by the name, Sophie Belinda Jonas.
After the happy event, the newlyweds celebrated with their friends by jumping into their hotel hot tub fully-clothed, keeping the party going late into the night.

He told Entertainment Tonight: 'It's kind of the dream where, as close as we are as brothers, that our wives [and then Joe's fiancée] are so connected, as well.
'It's obviously a huge adjustment for everybody, talking about us getting back together as a band and then working together so much again.
'These incredible women have handled it so well and for each of us, individually and as a group. To get to share that with them is a really amazing thing.
'And the family's just getting bigger and bigger, and that's a beautiful thing. We love including our loved ones, our family, in everything we do … our house is for everyone, our doors are always open. That is, in my opinion, how it should be.'
