The grand ballroom of Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur was bedecked in shades of blue and purple for the ‘mountain dream’ themed wedding of Khairil Izwan Abdul Rahim and Najwa Mokhtar. Besides a full attendance of loved ones, the young couple’s big day was graced by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah. The king and queen performed the symbolic merenjis or ‘sprinkling of scented water’ ceremony on the pair, as they sat upon a grandiose dais. Najwa, a resplendent vision in a custom hand-embroidered Fiziwoo ballgown, exchanged adoring glances with her handsome groom in full black tie. The joyous #KhairilxNajwa wedding continued with a multi-course Malay feast and entertainment by Hardy Arbi and The Crazy Bunch, with a special appearance by Indonesian singer, Sammy Simorangkir.
