At the couple’s engagement ceremony, which took place last December, the groom-to-be – whose brother Abdul also got engaged around the same time – placed a ring on his bride’s finger in front of their loved ones.
Danah shared a snippet of the event on social media, wearing a one-shoulder cream dress with a feather hem for the occasion.
She was pictured alongside her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Princess Alia, 66, who donned a lilac suit with a floral shirt, and her husband-to-be Talal.
Danah’s mom wore a black midi dress as the four of them posed for a photo in a living room with gold and cream furnishings.
Princess Alia posted the photos to Instagram and said, “God bless them all.”
People from all over the world took to social media to congratulate the latest Jordanian engagement, with a saying: “A thousand congratulations to the beautiful couple on their engagement.”
Meanwhile, another called the bride-to-be’s high-heeled silver patent leather shoes “nice.”
Talal Al-Saleh is the son of Princess Alia Bint Hussein and Sayyid Mohammed Al-Saleh, the second husband of the royal family.

The groom is named after his grandfather King Talal, who passed away in 1999.
Earlier this year, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan proudly watched their son get married in an Islamic ceremony known as a “katb ktab,” held in a gazebo and officiated by Royal Hashemite Court Imam Dr. Ahmed Al Khalileh.
Guests, including William and Kate, 40 and 41, Beatrice, 34, with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39, seemed overjoyed as they watched the wedding of Hussein, a Sandhurst graduate, and Saudi Arabian-born architect Rajwa, also 28, in the garden of the Zahran Palace.
Rajwa shone in a white dress by Lebanese designer Elie Saab, featuring a long train embroidered with flowers and a sparkling diamond tiara.
Rajwa graduated from Syracuse University in New York and attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles after completing her high school education in Saudi Arabia.
She has worked at an architectural firm in Los Angeles and currently works at the Designlab Experience studio in Riyadh.

The eldest of King Abdullah and Queen Rania’s four children, Crown Prince Hussein is a graduate of the prestigious Georgetown University in Washington DC and served in the military after graduating from Sandhurst in 2017.
