Queen Raniaof Jordan has lots to celebrate!
On Saturday, the Queen of Jordan celebrated her 30th wedding anniversary with King Abdullah — and gave a glimpse into their love story with a video montage onInstagram.
“Each passing day brings us closer, and each passing year shows me just how incredibly blessed I am to spend my life with you,” Rania captioned the clip. “Happy 30th anniversary, my King”
The photos showed looks of love between the couple through the years, from formal portraits to casual outtakes, working engagements and even a selfie. The video closed with a classic snap of Rania, 52, and Abdullah, 61, sharing a smile on their June 10, 1993 wedding day.
The Queen of Jordan also posted a second, simpler tribute to social media on the milestone anniversary and captioned the carousel with a heart.
The first photo showed Queen Rania sitting behind Abdullah and holding his shoulder as he smiled at the camera, while the second was a close-up shot of the bright floral arrangement in the first pic.
Queen Rania and King Abdullah welcomed four children during their 30 years of marriage —Crown Prince Hussein,Princess Iman,Princess SalmaandPrince Hashem— and their eldest recently tied the knot!
