Daughter of Brunei sultan weds
Afp, Bandar Seri Begawan
Diamonds sparkled and cannons boomed yesterday as a daughter of one of the world's longest-reigning monarchs, the Sultan of Brunei, wed a civil servant in a lavish traditional ceremony. Thousands of people braved a blistering midday sun to greet the daughter of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and her smiling husband as they cruised through town in a gold Rolls-Royce after the wedding ceremony at the 1,700-room palace. More than 2,000 guests, including Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak, witnessed the wedding of Princess Majeedah Nuurul Bulqiah, 31, and Pengiran Khairul Khalil, 32, beneath 12 crystal chandeliers in the throne room.
