Королевская свадьба. Принцесса Иман бин аль-Хуссейн

Иорданская принцесса Иман вышла замуж за Заида Мирзу.
Принцесса Иман - дочь королевы Нур и сводная сестра короля Абдуллы.
В сеть попали всего пара фотографий, но мне наряд принцессы понравился.
Говорят, что на ужин она надела простое белое платье.

Помолвка

 Говорят, что Заид - сын бывшего посла Иордании в Бразилии. Пара обручилась в декабре прошлого года.

 Молодожены

Википедия утверждает, что принцесса учится на ветеринара в Вашингтоне. Ее избранник - бизнесмен и обладатель черного пояса по бразильскому джиу-джитсу. Что бы мы делали без википедии?

Платье
Попытаюсь приблизить фото принцессы.
Очень хочется полюбоваться на золотую вышивку.

Не могу рассмотреть, что у нее на голове. Диадема? Или мне только кажется?

Пятиярусный торт был украшен оливковой ветвью, как и подарки гостям и столы.

Марки. Остиномания

В этом году мир празднует 200 лет содня первого издания романа "Гордость и предубеждение". По этому поводу в Британии выпустили такие марки:

Дебютный роман. Gillian Bagwell

Первый исторический роман Gillian Bagwell номинировался как лучший дебют 2012.

 From London's slums to its bawdy playhouses, The Darling Strumpet transports the reader to the tumultuous world of seventeenth-century England, charting the meteoric rise of the dazzling Nell Gwynn, who captivates the heart of King Charles II-and becomes one of the century's most famous courtesans.
Witty and beautiful, Nell was born into poverty but is drawn into the enthralling world of the theater, where her saucy humor and sensuous charm earn her a place in the King's Company. As one of the first actresses in the newly-opened playhouses, she catapults to fame, winning the affection of legions of fans-and the heart of the most powerful man in all of England, the King himself. Surrendering herself to Charles, Nell will be forced to maneuver the ruthless and shifting allegiances of the royal court-and discover a world of decadence and passion she never imagined possible.

Последующие книги писательницы. 

Charles II is running for his life-and into the arms of a woman who will risk all for king and country.
Jane Lane is of marrying age, but she longs for adventure. She has pushed every potential suitor away-even those who could provide everything for her. Then one day, adventure makes its way to her doorstep, and with it comes mortal danger...
Royalists fighting to restore the crown to King Charles II implore Jane to help. Jane must transport him to safety, disguised as a manservant. As she places herself in harm's way, she finds herself falling in love with the gallant young Charles. And despite his reputation as a breaker of hearts, Jane finds herself surrendering to a passion that will change her life forever. 

  
Based on the first 40 years of the life of Bess of Hardwick, 1527-1608, the formidable four-times widowed Tudor dynast who began life in genteel poverty and ended as the richest and most powerful woman in England after Queen Elizabeth; built Chatsworth House and Hardwick Hall; and is the forebear of numerous noble lines including the Dukedoms of Devonshire, Norfolk, Somerset, and Newcastle, the Earls of Lincoln, Portsmouth, Kellie, and Pembroke, the Baron Waterpark, and the current royal family of Britain.

Справедливости ради замечу, что писательница засветилась в Интернет-войне Авторы против блоггеров. Gillian Bagwell выступала на стороне авторов требующих запрета негативных откликов.
