"It was a wedding that redefined opulence. Prince Abdul Malik, son of the Sultan of Brunei -- one of the wealthiest men on the planet -- on Sunday married former systems data analyst Dayangku Raabi'atul 'Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah in a spectacular ceremony at the monarch's 1,788-room palace in Brunei's capital." Rediff News (April 14th, 2015)
We quote from this page concerning of one Asia's awaited lasting for 11 days to show the joys of wedding into a large and wealthy family that has shown its muscles in many areas of Brunei, Asia and United States.
A picture for the ages. Some of the pictures rendered arrived through Reuters. We observe this couple perhaps sated sided by side for now for the future as well. Perhaps when it matters, the images and the fashions will not die and live for all time.
Our concern is perhaps the management who orchestrated the show of means, and not only for the consumption, but how endearing quality and nature of Asia's history. If not the management - the artists and the designers who may have decided the day for Asia and Brunei
The histories are long, the process elaborate ends today on April 15th, with both families and newly shifting from between Nurul Iman Palace in Bandar Seri Begawan. But the purple dress for the evening at the palace and the precious stones for the bride and diamond and corseted gold emblems for the groom gives off the air of accomplishment.
Like most marriages around the world, especially one with religious significance and enduring monarchy, there is something about the blessing and goodwill that comes with this aspect of the wedding ceremony.
Like the elders before him and the father of the groom - the Sultan of Brunei holding his son's right of manhood to a woman he cherish and who believes in him --- tradition gives way to spectra as both parties affirm each others love.
Plates of diamond and precious stones for April wedding, does not shrink from in-laid designs of other materials for the bride and the groom. The wedding, the expenses which the management accomplished, the nuptials, and the traditional use of usher, ring bearer, flower and confetti, and bridesmaid - perhaps in this case - the family of both sides - comes down to this period.
If it is not impossible to behold the majesty of this outing, there is no period in the whole exercise of wealth from Brunei than this. It is not yet an outing but nothing can less grand than the revere than welcomes this solemnity. For some of these religious rulers and princes, there are forms of appreciation in being party to with the monarch's of Brunei, yet for more time, the last of the sons is given a fitting welcome which for them may be a last in their time.
The use of purple is usually a matter of luck, less perhaps piercing than the purity of white, which no less than tradition encourages blessings of marital success which money may not really buy. But the purple for this woman is small dash from pure fashion. Unlike other royal wedding, the color is met with expertise and there is no difference between the black and gold suits for the man saving the matching outfit for the the and wife in purple.
In the beginning and in the end - if at all there is an end - it comes down to hope and prayer, and blessing of love and pictures, videos, and the other articles to remember.
We look at the taste that went into the process, that some of it may be borrowed from elsewhere but there is nothing short in tradition at least shown in this page.
If it not impossible to secure a ticket for such occasions, there is something about royal wedding and the definition of tradition and meaning that welcomes these two couples to our homes and families, that force us - in spite of the day - to recall and compare a Kate and William Wedding, though offer interesting light on weddings and tradition - there are gaps that need to be nurtured, accepted, challenged and perhaps, just perhaps rivaled in future.
