The engagement of Iman to Thermiotis, who was born to a Greek family in Venezuela, had been announced last summer but the date of the marriage was set only last week.

King Abdullah's eldest son Crown Prince Hussein is set to marry Rajwa Al-Saif, the youngest daughter of Saudi businessman Khaled Al-Saif on 1 June.
