Princess Tunku Tun Aminah, the Sultan of Johor's only daughter, married Dutch property developer Dennis Muhammad Abdullah (born Dennis Verbaas) in a celebration at the royal palace that was broadcast across the Malaysian state.
The traditional "bersanding" ceremony was followed by a reception for 1,200 guests on the palace grounds, which were lined with twinkling lights.

In addition to uniting the happy couple as husband and wife, the wedding was also an important opportunity for Johor's royal family to display national customs and traditions in the hope of keeping them alive.
"Tuanku Sultan showed me a picture of his father (the late Sultan Iskandar Sultan Ismail) and mother (Enche' Besar Hajjah Khalsom Abdullah) at their wedding," Tunku Tun Aminah told the Royal Press Office according to Elle Malaysia. "He said that Dennis and I should emulate what they wore as a way of perpetuating Johor's royal culture and traditions. Otherwise, he fears that our uniqueness as Johoreans will be lost forever."
