September 2006 - Passages from the Holy Quran echoed on the grounds of Chateau de Chantilly on September 16, 2006 as His Eminence Sayyed Mohammad Musawi blessed the union of Prince Hussein and his American-born love Kristin White during an Islamic wedding ceremony.

The landmark French chateau, which houses masterpieces by Botticelli and Watteau, provided a regal backdrop for the groom and his bride, the newly-dubbed Princess Khaliya, who donned traditional dress for the Nikah ceremony which was as striking as the Western-style attire she wore the day before during a civil ceremony held at Aiglemont, the French residence of her new father-in-law, the Aga Khan.
