On January 10, local time, Brunei's Prince Abdul Mateen (Abdul Mateen) finally appeared at his ten-day wedding. The ten-day wedding has a different content every day, but it is not necessarily necessary for the bride and groom to participate together.
However, the day's event is also a "highlight", known as the "Istiadat Berbedak" (Powder Ceremony). It is a close person who applies colored rice flour and sesame oil to the hands of a couple to express their blessings.
The 31-year-old Martin is often referred to as the "most handsome prince", but he is used to seeing him in a haute couture suit, and he is a little uncomfortable to see him wearing a national costume.
Sitting in a golden armchair in the luxurious Nurul Iman Palace, Martin received blessings from Queen Raja Istri and his father, Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei.
Martin's mother, Mariam Abdul Aziz, was Bolkiah's second wife, but she has long since divorced, and now Bolkiah has only the queen's wife by his side.
There is no word on whether Martin's biological mother will come to his wedding, but during the ceremony, a woman who patted Martin on the cheek was thought to be most likely his mother, Maryam.
Maryam, 67, was a former flight attendant whose father (Martin's grandfather) was of British and Japanese descent. After becoming the Sultan's second wife, Maryam gave birth to two sons and two daughters, a total of four children, but the eldest son, Prince Acim, had died of illness.
As for why Maryam divorced the Sultan, there is no clear explanation so far.
Because the day of the oath has not yet arrived, the bride's son, Anisha Isa Kalebic, is still considered a princess-to-be. She also sat on the golden chair that day and received blessings from the Sultan and the Queen.
Anisha, 28, was escorted by a maid and her head was covered with a red scarf to obscure her vision, similar to our old-fashioned wedding.
When Anisha sat down, the red hijab covering her head was lifted, revealing her true face.
Anisha, who already has the advantage of appearance, is even more stunning and visually impactful.
The golden "phoenix crown" on the top of her head is indeed gorgeous, but it is not easy to control, but there seems to be nothing that cannot be controlled by Anisha, which may have a lot to do with her more three-dimensional European facial features. It is reported that she has British ancestry, and it is quite obvious.
After the ceremony, Anisha left the hall with the beauty of a runway model. Some commentators have pointed out that she may be the most beautiful bride ever made by the Brunei royal family.
Earlier in the day, there was also a ceremony in which the royal family presented a dowry gift to Anisha.
The person holding the bridal gift walked out of the vast feeling in the hall of the palace, and it can be seen that there are really a lot of things.
A few hours later, the Brunei royal family released a photo of Anisha as a bride admiring her dowry. Although the focus of the photo is on Anisha in a Western-style wedding dress, the dazzling dowry is also really eye-catching.
A variety of diamond jewellery is carefully placed in a "glass box" to give it a luxurious feel.
The royal family did not announce what exactly they gave to the new princess, but what could make Anisha, who is a rich girl, appeal, is obviously not ordinary.
Anisha's sister shared a photo with her sister on social media, along with her daughter, who was dressed up.
According to Brunei tradition, even in a Western-style wedding dress, Anisha needs to cover her hair almost completely with tulle, but this does not affect her beauty.
