Welcoming her guests, Rania said, ‘I’m so happy that you could all be here to celebrate with us. ‘Today is a special day for us, and to our entire Jordanian family. Our joy is one and the same… near or far, you are all in our hearts today.’ She explained that like any mother, she has always dreamed of Crown Prince Hussein’s wedding. ‘Al Hussein is your son as much as he is mine – you are his family and this is your celebration,’ she added. Sharing a few words about her future daughter-in-law, the Queen described Rajwa as ‘the sweetest and most beautiful bride-to-be’, adding that she is as precious to her as her daughters Princesses Iman and Salma.
