31-year old son of the Sultan of Brunei,
Prince Abdul Malik, exchanged vows with his 22-year old heartthrob,
Dayangku Raabi'atul 'Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah, in front of crowds of friends and family, nobility and foreign dignitaries amid mind-boggling splendour in a spectacular ceremony at the monarch's 1,788-room palace in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.
The newlyweds' matching gold outfits were both embellished with diamonds, while blushing bride Raabi'atul carried a bouquet made of dazzling gems, rather than flowers. 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.
The '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.
