Hopefully some photos of the ceremony will be released.

Why is it surprising to learn that Prince Rahim is marrying a fashion model? His mother was a model as well.

Kendra is gorgeous. It's a shame her modelling career will most likely end after her marriage. She has this 90's supermodel vibe to her.
They do make a very handsome couple.

Since his mother was a model I don't know why people are surprised that he would marry a model......his father did, and Aga Khan III had a French beauty queen as one of his wives.

Ms. Spears is shrewd. It is better to marry well than to rely on a fleeting career of a model.

Tha Aga Khan III was is great grandfather. But you're right, it's a kind of a family tradition...sadly with no happy ending for the most part...

Exactly. Do any of them make it to the five year mark at least?!
They are a beautiful couple for sure, though. ICAM with the poster who said it's a very shrewd move. Modeling careers can be notoriously brief.

True, one should not expect a Golden Wedding anniversary when marrying into that family.

Neither Rahim nor Kendra revealed anything specific about their apparent love story, it seems to me their marriage is type of arranged marriage ( too perect!), the date is still not revealed, it will probably be the same kind of wedding ceremony as his younger brother's.
As for Hussain and Khaliya they have not been seen together at any official engagements of Aga Khan foundation since the last year announcement of their separation.

I read Rita Hayworth and Prince Aly Khan had a civic ceremony and a Muslim one and she take an Ismaili name - Rehmat Khanum - which means Lady of Blessings from the Almighty.
Can you give me more information about this?
Do you know more about Rita's life as a princess?
