How Princess Iman Pahlavi's Wedding Blended Tradition and Modernity

The marriage of Princess Iman Pahlavi, granddaughter of the last Shah of Iran, to American entrepreneur Bradley Sherman has been a significant event for the Iranian diaspora and monarchists. The couple's journey began in 2017 when they were introduced by mutual friends. Their relationship blossomed over several years, leading to an engagement in 2023, which was announced publicly by Iman's mother, Yasmine Pahlavi, on social media. The proposal itself took place on a beachside getaway, marking a romantic start to their next chapter. This modern romance, however, is deeply rooted in the context of her family's royal heritage and their life in exile.
