Saudi citizens and Jordanian residents in the kingdom alike are looking forward to the June 1 wedding of Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah and Rajwa Al Saif.
Jordanians in Saudi Arabia have said they will be following the wedding closely, as they look on with pride from abroad.
“I am with and support Prince Hussein choosing to marry a girl from Saudi as we are brother countries,” said Sahar Aref Mufleh, a Jordanian fitness expert in Jeddah.
he wedding is a big occasion for Jordanians and Saudis alike: Ms Al Saif was born in Saudi Arabia and lived there until moving to the US for university and her subsequent job.
The couple became engaged at the home of Ms Al Saif’s father in Riyadh last August.
“My family, neighbours and for sure the whole country will be glued to the TV screen to watch the wedding procession,” said Noor Shams, a Jordanian teacher living in Jeddah.
