The son of the Sultan of Brunei, one of the world's richest men, has wed bride Dayangku Raabi'atul 'Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah 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.

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.

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 couple wore matching traditional Malay dress, with the bride's veil constructed of swathes of intricate lace.

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 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.

If u fink am lying read about the ruling house family history

What are you saying? The Sultan runs his country well - he's not a rich man who keeps it all for himself! I visited Brunei in 2008 and if I remember rightly the people do not pay any taxes because the Sultan pays for everything - roads, education etc. Apparently there is very little crime in the country and the people are warm, friendly and gentle. We visited a water village which, on the face of it, looks like a place no one would want to live - homes are wooden shacks built on stilts in the water with wooden walkways from one place to another. They are beautiful inside. It is huge and a complete community in its own right with schools, places of worship etc and the children go to school by water taxi. They had been told that the government wanted the people to move out of the water village and to live in flats - they refused. They are self sufficient in their community. The Sultan did his education in the UK. We shouldn't judge others by our standards.

His new wife Dayangku Raabi'atul 'Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah, how on earth do you get all of that one a credit card?


In a 100 or more years from now, if humankind is still in existence and politics have become fairer, people will ask the historians... why did they accept such conditions and allow a handful of privileged families to take so much wealth, and consume so much luxury while thousands of people had nothing ?

In Igbo man's voice "MONEYYYY "
