A look back at the couple's 1993 wedding.

Vogue

It was love at first sight for Prince Abdullah and Rania Al-Yassin, whose meet-cute reads like that of many other couples ? they were introduced at a dinner party in 1992. Six months later, they were engaged and they exchanged vows on June 10, 1993 at Zahran Palace in Amman, Jordan.

For the ceremony, the bride chose a custom look by British stalwart Bruce Oldfield, wearing it with a matching silk hair piece and veil. For their reception, held in the gardens of Raghadan Palace, the bride changed into a second look by the iconic fashion designer, while the groom wore his military uniform throughout the day.

Prince Abdullah and Rania Al-Yassin are now King and Queen of Jordan and their romance has prevailed over time.

Queen Noor ? her wedding to King Hussein ? Royal Central

As she celebrates her 70th birthday, we take a look at the romance and wedding of Queen Noor and King Hussein of Jordan.

Queen Noor stepped onto the international stage 43 years ago when she married King Hussein bin Talal of Jordan. Born Lisa Najeeb Halaby, the American-born Princeton graduate, became Hussein?s fourth wife at age 27. Expected to be named a princess, King Hussein declared his new wife queen upon marriage. She became the first American-born queen of an Arab nation and the second of Hussein?s wives to be given the title of queen.

Noor and Hussein met in 1977 while Noor was working as the Director of Facilities Planning and Design for Arab Air Services. They met and became friends at the opening of the Queen Alia International Airport. Their relationship quickly blossomed into a romance, and the King proposed on 13 May 1978.

A month later, on 15 June 1978, they married in a low-key but traditional Islamic wedding. In preparation for the big day, Noor converted to Sunni Islam and changed her name to Noor Al-Hussein, which means ?light of Hussein.? The wedding took place in the Zaharan Palace, where royal marriages take place. Following Muslim custom, she was the only woman present. Witnesses included the King?s two brothers and the bride?s father. The ceremony was performed by the chief justice of Jordan?s highest Islamic court. The couple recited vows from the Quran stating that they were being married in accordance with the laws of God, his prophet and the agreements made between each other.After the vows were exchanged, the happy couple entertained over 500 guests at the reception. Dressed in Dior and diamonds, the Queen had family and a few American friends in attendance. Government officials, diplomats and members of the Jordanian elite were all guests at the wedding, as was Hussein?s ex-wife, Princess Muna. Partygoers enjoyed soft drinks ? alcohol is forbidden by Islamic law ? and fruitcake. The royal couple celebrated with their guests before leaving in a Mercedes limousine for their honeymoon.

There were mixed feelings among the Jordanian people about their new queen. Some felt she was a western outsider interfering in their country. Others saw her as an Arab returning to her roots due to her Syrian ancestry. King Hussein and Queen Noor went on to have four children. The King succumbed to cancer in 1999. Today, Queen Noor spends her time in the United Kingdom, America and Jordan and is heavily involved in humanitarian and environmental affairs.

Jordan?s King Abdullah celebrates 60th birthday ? Royal Central

King Abdullah was born on 30 January 1962 in Amman to King Hussein and his second wife, Princess Muna. He was the heir apparent until his father made his uncle, Prince Hassan, Crown Prince of Jordan in 1965.

He was educated in Jordan, the UK and the United States and underwent military training at Sandhurst.

Abdullah met Rania Al-Yassin in 1993, and the pair became engaged two months later. They married on 10 June 1993. Together, they have four children: Crown Prince Hussein (b. 1994), Princess Iman (b. 1996), Princess Salma (b. 2000) and Prince Hashem (b. 2005).

Two weeks before King Hussein?s death, Hussein made Abdullah Crown Prince, replacing Hassan. Abdullah became King of Jordan upon the death of his father on 7 February 1999.
