At long last after many years of being in a carefree boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, this particular couple finally tied the knot recently on Sunday, 19th August and had their Majlis Bersanding last Sunday, 26th August. Their Nikah ceremony was not an ordinary one. Since the Groom originates from Kg.Putat and the Bride from Kuala Belait, they decided to have their solemnization in the House of Allah, the holy compound of Masjid Jame Asr'Hassanil Bolkiah in Kiulap.

The Bride wore a white baju fesyen complete with a white head scarf and a white lace veil. On the Night of the Bride's Berbedak Ceremony, she wore a beautiful Cream Songket baju kurung complete with the traditional costume jewellery.

A unique attire and definitely a first, was worn by the wedding couple on their bersanding day. A combination of red and white. The Bride wore a white baju fesyen with bright red beaded flowers with a red veil. Her jewellery consisted of a pink diamond necklace and matching tiara. A bouquet of white roses completed her attire. As for the Groom, he wore a white satin cara melayu with a red sinjang made of songket and a matching dastar. A one of kind design of a wedding attire.

After their photo sessions, the couple retired to their bedroom and changed into another outfit. For their second attire, the couple decided on the theme white & blue where the Groom wore a white outfit consisting of a jacket-like top and trousers. This was completed with his sinjang and Dastar. The Bride on the other hand, wore a plain white baju fesyen consisting of a combination of light and dark blue embroidery around the collar and chains of beads in various shades of blue in the front. The costume jewellery worn by the bride consisted of a white gold necklace and tiara with blue crystals which matched the Dastar Brooch worn by the Groom. The Newly-weds looked absolutely stunning in all their outfits.

Dear Asmat & Noni,
Alhamdullillah for finally getting hitched!!!!
The hubby, myself as well as your close friends have been
waiting anxiously for this day.
Although the both of you are already like a married couple,
there will still be more surprises for you both in this marriage.
Be prepared for the challenges being a husband and wife
as well as future challenges when you both become parents.
Always remember that, although you have been granted new titles,
don't let go of those little things that you did for each other before.
Congratulations to you both!!!
"Wishing you all the best on this path of marriage"
Sincerely From
