And when is the actual wedding taking place?
alfie said:The wedding took place yesterday 27th August. I can't remember how old the groom is, i think around my age 30 something hehe.The bride is 25 yrs old.
yes the outfit and does remind me of Pakistani lehngas etc. But have you noticed how Brunei pre-wedding ceremonies are similar to those in Pakistan? I mean, Berinai (applying of henna to the palms of the bride and groom) is essentially another name for the mehndi ceremony.Little_star said:My cousin got married at the beginning of July and her valima outfit was very similar to the bride's. The colours that is.
I agree, she looks ellegance. I like her dress. Its design and color are so simple and it makes her look pretty.~*~Humera~*~ said:The bride looks lovely once again. Her look is rather subdued for Brunei royal weddings. I wonder, too, if she had a non-Bruneian stylist and designer. The dress and jewels are still very opulent.
This style of wearing the jongsarat(over their left arms) is the style for the royal family. CP Sarah's mother & the groom's mother (Pg Suhaimi's mother) are given the priviledge to wear it like them.Dang Ayah said:I don't think the way some of these ladies wore the kain jongsarat (kain: malay for cloth. Jongsarat: literally jong means a type of boat while sarat means full. The name implies the cloth is full of embroidery/patterns) in this picture http://s2.supload.com/image.php?get=1SAHRIN_13.jpg is the traditional style of wearing them which is to 'kapit' or clasp the jongsarat under your arm instead they have worn them over their left arms.
I have never seen them worn like that prior to CP Sarah's mother during the Crown prince's wedding... I thought it was just because she didn't know how to wear it properly. Now, everyone's following her way. I guess this reduces the need to 'kapit' the kain which can be tiring but personally I prefer people wearing them the traditional way because to me that is the true way of wearing the jongsarat for females and more Malay since this way was started by a Swiss lady... hehehe! what a trendsetter...
