Brunei’s Prince Abdul Malik, 31,
exchanged vows with Dayangku
Raabi’atul ‘Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji
Bolkiah, 22, in a lavish celebration in
which both bride and groom wear
gold outfits adorned with diamonds
and other precious stones.
The bride carried a bouquet made of
gems rather than flowers, wore shoes
by Christian Louboutin, the French
designer, and had a diamond
necklace with a central pendant of
three grape-sized emeralds.
The Sultan, an oil and gas potentate
who is one of the world’s richest
men, has five sons and seven
daughters from three marriages.
Guests at the ceremony were treated
afterwards to a banquet in a palace
hall that can accommodate 5,000
guests.

The wedding festivities began on
April 5 and are due to continue
until Wednesday.
Brunei, a former British protectorate
of about 400,000 on Borneo island,
is run as an absolutist Muslim
monarchy by the Sultan, 67.

Political discontent is limited thanks
to a high standard of living and free
education and health care, although
members of the royal family have
been criticised for their extravagant
lifestyles.
Michael Jackson, the late pop singer,
was reportedly paid more than £10
million to give a concert in Brunei in
1996 to mark the sultan’s 50th
birthday.
Last year, the sultan caused
controversy by introducing Sharia
criminal law, which allows for
punishments including stoning,
whipping and amputation.

Lol. That royal family is no more as rich as they were.

That guy is fvcking rich.. Like things this way.

I bet that shoe is custom made. The strap is a bangle.

God dey.

The anklet is not attached to d shoe.

I thought it was too lavish until I remembered Lavish has levels. Most of us will spend as much as we can on our weddings while these people may not even feel what they spent. we are probably more lavish than they are.
