AMMAN: Jordan’s King Abdullah and Queen Rania’s eldest daughter Princess Iman married a New York-based financier from a prominent Greek family on Sunday in a private ceremony attended by Gulf royals and family friends.
The princess, 26, and the groom, Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, 28, both signed the marriage certificate in front of the monarch during portions of the ceremony that were broadcast live on state television.
Earlier, Princess Iman, wearing a white gown with a long train and lace-cuffed sleeves and a diamond tiara, was escorted through the palace gardens by her eldest brother, Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah.
“Congratulations, Iman; your smile has always been a love gift that I’ve treasured since the day you were born. I wish you and Jameel a life filled with laughter and love! “Her mother, Queen Rania, shared the news on social media.
Iman’s engagement to Thermiotis, who was born into a Greek family in Caracus, Venezuela, was announced last summer, but the wedding date was only set to last week.
Crown Prince Hussein, King Abdullah’s eldest son, is set to marry Rajwa Al Saif, the youngest daughter of Saudi businessman Khaled Al Saif, on June 1.
