In a grand ceremony reflective of the deep-rooted traditions and modern magnificence synonymous with royal weddings, Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein tied the knot with Rajwa Alseif, a distinguished architect from a prominent Saudi Arabian family.
The event, held on a beautiful Thursday at the majestic Zahran Palace in the Jordanian capital, Amman, was attended by a constellation of esteemed guests, including royal families from across the globe and heads of state.
Glittering Guests and Ceremonial Splendor
The marriage of the 28-year-old Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II and his beloved Rajwa Alseif was celebrated in high style, with 140 of the 1,700 attendees including notable personalities like the British Prince and Princess of Wales and the US First Lady, Jill Biden.
The guest list did not stop there; Princess Charlotte and members of royal families from Belgium, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Japan were also present at Zahran Palace, as reported by Sky News. The beautiful morning started with the King and Queen of Jordan receiving their guests at the palace, with the Jordanian Armed Forces setting a charming musical backdrop.
As attendees streamed in, they extended their heartfelt greetings and congratulations to the royal family, turning the event into a veritable pageant of global goodwill and celebration.
The Celebration and the Couple
Adorning a magnificent wedding dress crafted by the famed designer Elie Saab, Alseif arrived at Zahran Palace in a custom-built 1968 Rolls-Royce Phantom V, a car that was originally owned by the prince's late great-grandmother.
The 29-year-old Saudi architect, a Syracuse University graduate, will henceforth be known as Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Jordan. When the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, her title will transition to Queen of Rajwa.
Adding to her illustrious lineage, Alseif shares familial ties with the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, through her mother who belongs to the esteemed Al-Sudairi family.
Following the arrival of the radiant bride, the royal couple and their fathers took part in a Katb Al-Kitab ceremony in the palace garden, where they signed the marriage contract and exchanged rings.
Outside the palace, a jubilant crowd waved flags and displayed pictures of the couple, eagerly waiting for the motorcade to escort the newlyweds along the approximately one-kilometer route in the capital. As the streets buzzed with excitement, the union of Prince Hussein and Rajwa Alseif brought not only two hearts together, but also two nations, in a bond of lasting celebration.
