The Paris celebration was attended by immediate family members, close friends, and a select circle of well-wishers. Empress Farah Pahlavi, the widow of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and matriarch of the Pahlavi family, was present, adding a sense of generational continuity. At over 80 years old, her attendance was a poignant reminder of the enduring presence of the royal family, even in exile. Her relationship with her granddaughter is said to be warm and supportive, and she reportedly gave a private blessing to the couple during the ceremony.
