Royal Wedding of the Year! See Photos from Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan's Nuptials

Here Comes the Bride

After guests like Prince William and Kate Middleton found their seats and Crown Prince Hussein processed to the front of the gazebo, Princess Rajwa arrived with her groom’s younger siblings. The bride entered the wedding on the arm of her new brother-in-law Prince Hashem, 18.

Best Backup

In a sweet moment, Princess Iman and Princess Salma followed Rajwa as she made her way in, fixing the sweeping train of her Elie Saab Haute Couture dress and long veil to create perfect placement. Iman, 26, perhaps had a little practice with the task, as she recently celebrated her own royal wedding in March.

Just Us

Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa shared a tender moment as they exchanged rings.

Just Married

The couple was joyful when Dr. Ahmed Al Khalaileh, imam of the Royal Hashemite Court, closed the service, and sweetly kissed each other on the cheek. Some of the women performed a Zaghrata, a traditional ululation to show happiness at Jordanian and Arab celebrations.

Arm in arm, the newlyweds made their way out of the gazebo.

Special Guests

With their union official, it was time to greet guests! The bride and groom briefly spoke with members of the congregation, which was comprised of their families, world royals and heads of state — like Prince William and Princess Kate!

Riding in Style

The custom car was previously used to transport the late Queen Elizabeth when she visited Jordan in 1984.

Princess Duty

Shortly after the ceremony, the Royal Hashemite Court announced that Rajwa will now be styled as a princess. 

“A Royal Decree was issued to bestow the title of Her Royal Highness Princess Rajwa Al Hussein on Miss Rajwa Khalid Alseif, on the occasion of her marriage to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein #Jordan,” the statement said.

Day of Celebration

People lined the streets for a glimpse of the royal couple as they traveled to their epic reception at Al Husseiniya Palace.

Happily Ever After

Time to party! The bride and groom took in the cheering crowds during the journey to Al Husseiniya Palace to celebrate with — yes — 1,700 guests.

Outfit Change

For the evening banquet at Al Husseiniya Palace, Princess Rajwa debuted a second bridal gown. She wore a cap-sleeve ballgown with a sweetheart neckline and swirling embellishments. While she kept on her delicate diamond tiara and matching earrings from earlier in the day, she swept her hair into a chignon and added dramatic opera gloves.
