It's wedding season!
Kate Middleton and Prince William traveled to Amman, Jordan, for the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Rajwa Alseif. The Prince and Princess of Wales were among those in attendance Thursday to see the future monarch tie the knot in an Islamic marriage ceremony at Zahran Palace.
Following the ceremony, a reception is being held at Al Husseiniya Palace, where 1,700 guests are expected.
The royal couple dressed to impress for the occasion, with Kate wearing a pink floor-length gown with long sleeves by Elie Saab. She paired the dress with statement earrings, and a small clutch, styling her long, brown locks in a wavy 'do.
Prince William, meanwhile, wore a navy blue suit along with a light blue tie.
Video captured from the lavish affair saw the couple chatting with the parents of the groom, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, with Kate curtsying while greeting each of them. Following the wedding ceremony, Prince William and Princess Kate greeted Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa with hugs and kisses on the cheeks.
William and Kate weren't the only royals in attendance.
