Sultan of Brunei’s Daughter’s Wedding May Cost $20 Million, is Going on for a Week
sorosayers.com:
Possibly the most lavish wedding the world has ever seen happened Friday, in Brunei, where the Sultan’s daughter Hajah Hafizah Sururul Bolkiah, 32, married a 29-year-old civil servant. The ongoing week-long celebration is estimated to involve 2,000 guests and will end this Sunday night when the newlyweds are presented at court. The ceremony itself, according to the UK paper The Daily Mail, took place in the Istana Nurul Iman Palace, a 1,700 room palace that’s home to the Sultan and his family.

The princess’s older brother, heir to the throne of Brunei, married in 2004 at a speculated cost of $5 million, reports say, but wedding planner Maya Kalman, founder of Swank Productions in New York City confirmed Yahoo!

Additional celebrations throughout the week could be an additional $15 to $20 million, Kalman speculates. —

I agree with mr.Rafiq, when comes to war its cost billion of dollars and killing hundreds thousand or millions of peoples died no question asked.
An embarrassingly extravagant spending that is very unbecoming of a muslim.
Abu Hurairah(ra) relates that the Holy Prophet(saw) said
“The worst marriage feast is the one in which only the rich are invited and the poor are left out……….(Muslim)
Where do search people get money to spoil yet in Africa we are suffering hard? The king should help African countries insteady of wasting such important resources!
Atleast help people who are suffering so that you can be rewarded by Allah instead of being extravagant. May Allah bestow His blessings on the Sultan and his family
I am certain that the Sultan and his family would afford much money to help their fellow Muslims all round the world. May Allah bestow His Blessings upon the Sultan and his Family.
