The Sultan of Brunei, one of the richest men in the
world has thrown a gold standard party for his last
son in a spectacular ceremony at the monarch’s
1,788-room palace in Brunei’s capital, Bandar Seri
Begawan. Prince Abdul Malik, 31, exchanged vows with
Dayangku Raabi’atul ‘Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji
Bolkiah, 22, in front of crowds of friends and
family, nobility and foreign dignitaries amid mind-
boggling splendour. His 22-year-old bride, Dayangku Raabi’atul
‘Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah, worked as a
systems data analyst and IT instructor, She
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 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 bride and groom sat 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. See more photos after the cut:
