Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan is married!
The heir to the Jordanian throne, 28, married fiancée Rajwa Alseif in an epic royal wedding in Amman on Thursday. The couple tied the knot in an Islamic marriage ceremony at Zahran Palace, where the prince’s parents Queen Rania and King Abdullah II of Jordan wed in 1993.
The celebration commenced with the arrival of the King and Queen as the Jordanian Armed Forces Musical Band performed. Crown Prince Hussein then entered, meeting his parents in the ceremony gazebo in the palace garden. The groom's uniform suit was inspired by the one his father wore on his own wedding day, its sleeves paying tribute to the timeless style of King Abdullah II and King Abdullah I.
Around the same time, Rajwa arrived at the palace with Hussein’s younger siblings Princess Iman, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem in a custom 1968 Rolls-Royce Phantom. The princesses helped Rajwa, 29, with her train, and Hashem, 18, had the honor of escorting the bride to the gazebo in the green garden, where the wedding ceremony, known as a “katb ktab,” commenced. Rajwa wore a custom white silk crepe long-sleeve gown with an asymmetric neckline and draped bodice by Elie Saab Haute Couture, topping the look with a diamond tiara and sweeping veil.
