The couple had formally registered their marriage at the Manhattan Marriage Registry Office in New York last month. Their court marriage was attended only by close family members, including Iman’s father Reza Pahlavi, the former Crown Prince of Iran.

Following the intimate celebration in New York, Iman and Bradley hosted a lavish wedding for friends and family members in Paris. For her big day, the bride wore a lacy white wedding gown from designer Elie Saab.

Who is Iman Pahlavi?

Iman Pahlavi is the second daughter of Iran’s former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and Yasmine Pahlavi. She was born in Washington DC in 1993.

A US-raised royal, she attended Bullis School in Maryland and earned a BA in Psychology and Communications from the University of Michigan in 2015.

Iman is the granddaughter of Iran’s last monarch, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who ruled until 1979, when the Iranian Revolution led to his overthrow, the abolition of the monarchy, and the establishment of the Islamic Republic. After being overthrown, the Shah travelled to several countries before eventually arriving in the United States.

She is the daughter of the eldest son of the Shah, Reza Pahlavi, who was named crown prince upon his birth.

Reza Pahlavi announced the wedding in a social media post.
