Jordan’s King Abdullah and his wife Queen Rania’s eldest daughter Princess Iman has married a New York-based financier from a prominent Greek family in a private ceremony attended by some royals and family friends.
Queen Rania, who is very popular on social media, posted a video of the wedding on Instagram.
The princess, 26, and the groom Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, 28, both read a verse from the Quran after signing the marriage document in front of the monarch in parts of the ceremony shown live on state television.
Earlier Princess Iman, wearing a white dress with a long train and lace-cuffed sleeves with a diamond tiara, was escorted through the palace gardens by Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah, her eldest brother.
“Congratulations my dearest Iman, your smile has always been a gift of love that I’ve cherished since the day you were born. I wish you and Jameel a life filled with love and laughter!” her mother Queen Rania posted on social media.
The engagement of Iman to Thermiotis, who was born in Caracus, Venezuela, into a Greek family, had been announced last summer but the date of the marriage was set only last week.
King Abdullah’s eldest son Crown Prince Hussein is set to marry Rajwa Al Saif, the youngest daughter of Saudi businessman Khaled Al Saif on June 1.
