2023 in photos: The spectacular wedding of Jordanian princess Iman

The daughter of Queen Rania and King Abdullah II, Princess Iman married Jameel Thermiotis on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

They had been engaged since July 2022, but their wedding date was only revealed to the public a week before the big day.

The princess wore a classic white Dior dress. The floral lace on the neckline and sleeves drew attention to her elegant figure. On her head, she wore a diamond tiara and a long veil.

Born on September 27, 1996, the Princess of Jordan studied International Relations at Georgetown University in Washington DC.

She is the second of four children of Queen Rania and King Abdullah of Jordan. Her siblings are Prince Hussein, the eldest, and Princess Salma and Prince Hashem who come after her.

According to the newspaper El País, "the wedding was attended by 150 guests and was celebrated at the Beit Al-Urdun Palace, in Amman, the capital of Jordan, in a traditional and luxurious ceremony."

Although the wedding was made official on March 12, the festivities began five days earlier, following Muslim tradition. Iman attended the Henna festival surrounded by the women in her family and her closest friends.

The groom was born in 1994 in Caracas, Venezuela, and has Greek ancestry. He is the son of Alejandro Thermiotis Filesari and Corina Hernández de Thermiotis and has two siblings, Alexia and Alejandro.

Thermiotis grew up in Miami with his brothers and studied Business Administration at Florida International University. He currently lives in New York and works in finance.

According to Semana magazine, "in order to marry the second daughter of the King and Queen of Jordan, the businessman had to convert to Islam, which is why he changed his name to Jameel."

On her Instagram profile, which has more than 7 million followers, Rania posted an emotional message: "Iman, I pray this next chapter in your life brings you as much joy, love, and laughter as you have brought us over the years. Congratulations to the bride and groom!"

The Queen also thanked everyone involved. "A day unlike any other," she wrote. "Thank you all for sharing in our joy."

According to the Venezuelan press, the couple has planned to move to New York City.
