Alongside the photo, Rania, 48, penned, “I am so lucky to be by your side, today, tomorrow, and every day to come. God bless you my King #Jordan #LoveJO.” The King and Queen said “I do” back in 1993 at Zahran Palace in Amman, Jordan. For her nuptials, Rania opted for a gown by designer Bruce Oldfield, while the groom sported a military uniform.
The pair first met at a dinner party in January of 1993 before beginning their whirlwind courtship. In a 2005 interview with People magazine, Abdullah reportedly said, “The minute Rania walked in, I knew it right there and then,” adding, “It was love at first sight.”
