It wasn't long before the couple tied the knot in a dazzling 5-day wedding party at Istana Besar Sri Menanti, including a bersanding ceremony witnessed by cabinet ministers, the rulers of states including the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Prime Minister. 

'Every day there was something different," Tunku Dara recalls of her wedding day fondly. "Our main bersanding was followed by a Ball and everyone danced all night."
