ROYAL WEDDING. Daughter of Brunei's sultan and her groom were officially presented to the royal court in a colourful ceremony in the tiny oil-rich monarchy.

Brunei’s Princess Hajah Hafizah Sururul Bolkiah, the daughter of one of the world’s wealthiest men, along with her husband Pengiran Haji Muhammad Ruzaini, were presented to the royal court in a lavish ceremony on Sunday, September 23. The two were legally wed on Thursday, September 19, after they signed a marriage contract, but the colorful, 20-minute ceremony marked the highlight of over a week of festivities in oil-rich Brunei. The 32-year-old bride and her 29-year-old groom were seated in a hall in front of 3,000 guests that included President Benigno Aquino III, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. Hafizah wore a crystal-beaded beige and silver gown, while Ruzaini wore beige and a gold brocade. It is the first time that one of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah’s children has married since 2007.
