From Classmates to Soulmates

The 10-year courtship between Syanas Yasmen Datuk Radzali and Sheikh Imran Iskandar finally culminated in an unforgettable wedding

On august 24, two lovebirds who have been together since they were teenagers finally tied the knot. They had met in high school, but back then, Syanas thought that Imran was a bit of a snob. While the two got closer, their parents thought that it was nothing more than merely puppy love, but it amounted to so much more than that. As Syanas Yasmen’s mother, Datin Salmah had said during her speech at the reception, “Little did I know, this one was here to stay.” Nearly a decade of friendship has blossomed into a lifetime together, and these high school sweethearts are now husband and wife. The night was filled with much laughter and heartfelt joy, especially with how close-knit the family and guests were. As people busied themselves outside with photo-taking prior to the event, the ceremony began with the bridal entourage’s regal entrance through the grand staircase of the Shangri-la Kuala Lumpur, before they proceeded to the lavish and extravagant pelamin. As prayers and a sumptuous dinner followed, guests were delighted when out stepped jazz sensation and performer Noryn Aziz, as she belted out euphonious and beloved jazzy tunes that added to the cheerful ambience of the entire night. A video was then shown to the guests during the reception, featuring snapshots of the couple’s traditional nikah, Indian-style mehndi night as well as other colourful celebrations that took place a week prior to the reception.
