As Jordan prepares for a royal wedding, a look back at the Hashemite monarchy’s wedding traditions might give a glimpse on what to expect on the big day.Conveying a sense of continuity, Thursday's ceremony is expected to include some of the same features as previous royal weddings, including a motorcade of red Land Rover jeeps escorting the couple through the streets of Amman after the ceremony.Crown Prince Al Hussein, 28, is to marry Saudi architect Rajwa Alseif, 29, on Thursday at Zahran Palace in downtown Amman, the same wedding venue previously chosen by the prince's father, King Abdullah II, and his grandfather, the late King Hussein.Another royal wedding in March of Hussein’s sister, princess Iman, hewed close to royal tradition.Al Hussein walked Iman down the aisle at the al-Urdon Palace to her father King Abdullah II.Then she sat next to her then-fiancée Jameel Thermiotis and the imam for the ceremony.Al Hussein once again participated as a witness in the royal signing of the marriage contract, known in Arabic as kitab al-kitab.The royal couple is expected to arrive at the palace for the wedding in an iconic red motorcade used for important events throughout the kingdom’s history.
