What happens when a PR events officer decides to marry? She doesn't hire a planner. She plans everything herself. The sweet little details of the wedding really showed Brunei PR tactics at its best!

Liza and Aboy tied the knot on Friday 9 March at her home on Jalan Muara. Their nikah ceremony saw an interesting crowd - a bus full of more than thirty KL-ians bringin hantaran gifts which were brought in beautiful red leather boxes which had convenient handles for the carriers. Talk about chic.

Liza's hantarans were no less than beautiful. One from Liza is definitely noteworthy - the reknowned kek lapis- layered cake baked by her mother is cuisine worth boasting about!

...reception...

It was only befitting to hold the reception at the Multi-Purpose Hall, International Convention Centre as two families from different lands celebrated their marriage infront of 1200 guests. Guests included several VVIPs, a fifty-strong entourage from Kuala Lumpur and of course, bloggers.

The couple looked lovely together in a lovely soft green jong sarat set from Mutiara Ayu Boutique, a popular choice for today's weddings. The colour gave a natural and light effect rather than the usual character of heavy and stiff jong sarat bajus which most couples dread.

A traditional malay dance performance from Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports entertained guests while they feasted on dishes prepared by Nurwanita Enterprise. The fish fillets were especially delicious! Shots to slobber on can be found on Yeeman's Foodie Tales.

X-Romantic Factor of the Night was the Suap-Suapan Session where the couple fed each other with wedding food to a favourite song of the couple's (especially Aboy's) which was 'Gemilang' by Sheila Majid.

Lens, lens everywhere! Who wouldn't want to take photos of this glamorous affair?! Wedding shutterbug pro David Cheok was seen hard at work and we surely cannot wait to see the official shots! Also noticed paparazzi Rano & photoblogger Eyan doing what they do best too.

Another interesting detail - the pretty notecards which Liza herself designed. Many were seen writing congratulatory messages and inspirational words for the lovebirds.

Sweet, simple yet detailed, Liza and Aboy's wedding will be remembered for ages. This one surely made Brunei proud.
