Dr Tina & Yadi's Bersanding Ceremony

This afternoon saw the Bersanding Ceremony of

Dr Hajah Martina Melati binti Dato Seri Paduka Awang Haji Kifrawi

&

Awang Ismayadi Sugara bin Awang Asrul Hayati

at the Dewan Utama (Royal Berkshire Hall) of the Royal Brunei Polo & Riding Club.

I wanted to share some pictures of the radiant bride, resplendent in a heavily beaded handmade turquoise and gold wedding gown, diamonds and a delicate tiara.

Dr Tina's magnificent designer gown comprises a hand embroidered lace dress with thousands of beads and sequins over a bustier and a long gold skirt made from a shimmering piece of jong sarat. The unique stand up collar enhanced her beautiful features and baby soft glowy skin.

The arrival of the bride into the hall,

followed shortly by the groom.

What is a wedding without the attendance of families - happy faces.




The father of the bride transformed the home garden into a Marquee with lights and air-condition. Fantastic job!

For Hire.

If you are looking for something different for your wedding? An Arabic music ensemble? A music group to go with the Middle Eastern theme for your wedding: here is the group for you to engage.

An Indonesian Arab musician group that plays real authentic Middle Eastern tunes can come and play at your wedding.

Singapore Wedding: Sadeq and Sara

The Best Is Yet To Be On your joyful wedding day,
You begin a brand new life.
Friends and family give their gifts
To joyful husband, blissful wife. But the greatest gift you'll ever get,
A gift from heaven above,
Is love forever, ending never,
Everlasting love. You'll share life's joy and pleasure;
You'll have plenty of that, it's true.
But love is the real treasure
For your new spouse and you. And if life hands you challenges,
As it does to one and all,
Your love will hold you steady
And never let you fall. Your wedding day is full of joy;
Tomorrow you cannot see.
But one thing's sure for the two of you:
The best is yet to be. By Joanna Fuchs

Singapore Wedding: Fahmi and Ain

Congratulations to Fahmi and Ain on their recent wedding.
Best wishes for a life long togetherness..

The Finest Thing Among the finest things in life,
a good marriage
is the most satisfying and rewarding,
the deepest and best of pleasures.
That blessed relationship
uplifts, enriches, encourages
and strengthens both husband and wife.
A loving marriage
overcomes any obstacles
the world may put in its way,
strengthening the special marital bond
with every challenge conquered.
Your wedding
is the start of something better
than you can imagine.
May your marriage
be all that you dream of and more. By Joanna Fuchs

Special Edition: Singapore Wedding

Brunei Weddings has recently gone to Singapore to witness a double wedding. We hope you will get some inspiration and ideas for wedding back home. The pelamin is awesome with a real chandelier in the middle.

Talking to the host, I found interesting information how wedding planners and caterers handle weddings. There are many one-stop shop where you can get everything provided for, from wedding gowns, food, wedding cake, pelamin, mak andam, to gifts and decor. Basically, you pay for one price. Cool eh! It saved time in sourcing all the items that you wanted. I really like the simple but yet elegant affair.

The wedding cake made up of many cupcakes!
