[The groom, Dennis Muhammad Abdullah, converted to Islam in 2015] The daughter of one of Malaysia’s most powerful sultans married her Dutch fiancé on Monday in a lavish ceremony steeped in centuries of tradition.
Princess Tunku Tun Aminah Sultan Ibrahim, 31, the only daughter of the Sultan of Johor, tied the knot with Dennis Muhammad Abdullah, 28, following a three-year romance.
The Dutchman, who has converted to Islam, and the princess were married according to Muslim Malay custom at the Serene Hill Palace, the royal family’s residence in the southern city of Johor Bahru. The private ceremony was attended by close family and friends.
The groom wore traditional white wedding attire and the bride a white dress. Dennis Muhammad placed the wedding ring on Tunku Aminah’s finger in a special room in the palace, according to the royal press office. And in keeping with wedding customs in the Muslim-majority southern state of Johor, he also gave her a dowry of 22.50 ringgit (US$5), and the couple kissed the hands of their parents, aunts and uncles as a mark of respect.
An evening reception on Monday night, however, promised to be the main event, featuring a “sitting-in-state” ceremony, with some 1,200 guests expected to attend and crowds watching the event on a big screen in a city square.
Preparations in recent days have been frantic, with the grounds of the main palace decorated with bunting and main streets adorned with flags.
“I am taking my wife and two young children to the city square tonight to witness the live broadcast of the evening celebrations,” said Azim Mohamad Nurazim, a 34-year-old local salesman.

I’ve had better but nothing really wrong with her.
How whipped do you have to be to convert to Islam for a woman?
The money, not the whipping.
There’s not enough money in the world for me to become a Muslim.
I’m guessing she has some serious money in the bank. But it’d be like me marrying a Japanese princess. Weird.
for that kind of wealth?
I wonder which of his 7, 8, 9 or 14 brides she’ll become......and accept?
It probably got pretty easy after the first date when he learned her dad’s a $ultan with a private army?
He bought her for $5 and sold his soul. Not much of a deal.
