The Wedding
The official islamic wedding ceremony took place at the Zahran Palace in Amman, Jordan a few moments ago. The same iconic location where King Abdullah of Jordan married Queen Rania.
The couple looked resplendent as they vowed to spend their lives together. For the nuptials, the Crown Prince chose to wore his military uniform, just like his father did on his big day, thirty years ago.
The bride, who originates from Saudi Arabia looked ethereal in a stunning white gown by Elie Saab with and endless veil. The ensemble she chose for her big day had elements of traditionalism with a hint of modernity. The jewellery and makeup were minimal, as the glowing bride allowed her au naturale beauty to take centre stage.
