Crystal-studded shoes, emeralds the size of quails' eggs and a bouquet made of JEWELS! Just check that out, guys! The son of the Sultan of Brunei, one of the world's richest men, Prince Abdul Malik, 31, today wedded his 22 year old bride Dayangku Raabi'atul 'Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah in a spectacular, mind blowing, very lavish ceremony at the monarch's 1,788-room palace in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.
The Prince is the youngest child of the Sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah and his wife, Queen Saleha, and is second in the line of succession to become the next Sultan of Brunei.
Today's 'bersanding' or enthronement ceremony is usually the highlight of the wedding festivities, and saw the bride and groom seated next to each other, dressed in opulent traditional attire on gilded thrones in the Throne Chamber of the Istana Nural Iman palace.
According to The Brunei Times, also in attendance were seven Malaysian state rulers and the governor of Saudi Arabia, and this is the first time that the couple have appeared together since the festivities started on 5 April.
The 22-year-old bride, who worked as a systems data analyst and IT instructor, sported a breathtaking diamond tiara studded with six teardrop-shaped emeralds. A diamond necklace with a central pendant of three emeralds the size of grapes, glittered around her neck, while a matching brooch of two egg-shaped emeralds dangled from a diamond setting.
The Sultan has 12 children - five sons and seven daughters - from three different marriages. Prince Abdul Malik is the sixth child of the Sultan and his current wife, Queen Saleha, who wed in 1965. The wedding is taking place over a period of 11 days, and started on Sunday, 5 April, with the royal marriage proposal ceremony.
The celebration will end on 15 April, with a ceremony of thanksgiving prayers. The location of the wedding, the dazzling Istana Nural Iman palace is situated in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. It is considered the largest residential palace in the world, with 1,788 rooms, five grand swimming pools, 257 bathrooms, and a 110-car garage.
Later Brunei's newlywed royal couple, changed into more opulent evening outfits for the wedding banquet. Prince Abdul swapped his gold wedding suit for ceremonial military dress, embellished with diamond epaulettes and collar. While the newest member of the royal family, his bride changed into a beaded purple floor-length gown embroidered with silver thread for the wedding banquet.
