Starting with an akad nikah ceremony in Sentul, the festivities continued with the traditional Indian wedding custom of tying the 'thali' and a Chinese tea ceremony before the elders. Finally, a dazzling Bollywood-themed reception sealed the deal for the 2 lovebirds.

"Let's just say our wedding was a crash-course on Malaysian kahwin culture in a very good way," Ili posted on Instagram in November, expressing hopes that her multi-cultural wedding would inspire more Malaysians to embrace their differences.

Last April, Ain Sabri tied the knot with her high school sweetheart of 12 years, Zhareef Zamry in a lavish reception at JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur. After the akad nikah ceremony in the beautifully adorned Bayu Ballroom, the reception kicked off without a glitch with Ain managing to surprise her groom with a song performance of Can’t Help Falling In Love (we're told he teared up instantly).

The night was made even more memorable by yet another surprise performance by the bridesmaids and the father of the bride, Datuk Mohd Sabri Alwi, who sang his rendition of Endless Love.

When Jane Chuck and Han Pin were married in true wanderlust flair in Mykonos, Greece, they knew they had to transport those amazing memories in a properly stunning wedding reception back home in Kuala Lumpur.

The stage was thus set for what was undoubtedly the most lavish KL wedding of December 2019: a carnival-themed reception within a Winter Wonderland setting at The Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.
