Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to the Sultan and Tengku Ampuan of Pahang! Royal Guests and Relatives gathered from around Malaysia to celebrate the Wedding of the Crown Prince of Pahang and Princess Azizah of Johor at the Istana Bukit Serene in Johor on this day in 1986, 40 years ago, ahead of magnificent festivities in Pahang!
The Tengku Mahkota (Crown Prince) Pahang married Tunku (Princess) Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah of Johor in a Akad Nikah Ceremony at the Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque in Johor Bahru, followed by a Istiadat Membatalkan Air Sembahyang at the Istana Bukit Serene.
Princess Azizah wore a Diamond Tiara on loan from the Sultanah of Johor.
Over the following few days there were several ceremonies, including the Istiadat Khatam Al-Quran, the Istiadat Berinai, and the Istiadat Persandingan Di-Raja.
The highlight of the celebrations were the Istiadat Merenjis Tepung Tawar and Istiadat Santapan Ceremony for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Pahang at the Istana Besar in Johor Bahru, attended by Royal Guests and Relatives from around Malaysia.
The Crown Princess wore a Diamond Tiara and the Johor Diamond Collar.

First of all: Happy Anniversary to TRH the Sultan and the Tengku Ampuan of Pahang!! Their wedding seems to have been celebrated in grand style indeed! I wonder if they will mark the anniversary in some special way (a banquet of sorts or similar).
The photos you have posted from the celebrations are absolutely wonderful.
As I don+t have any other way of contacting you I hope you don+t mind me making another observation regarding the ID of one of the guests at the first glittering occasion. The man identified as the Sultan of Negeri Sembilan in the photo previous to the Tunku Ampuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan dressed in red looks more like the Sultan of Terengganu. And he also seems to be wearing a Sash corresponding to the Royal Family Order of Terengganu rather than any Negeri Sembilan Order.
Also, I wondered if you know who the female “supporters” of the bridal couple were at that first glittering ceremony? They also look like they+re wearing splendid tiaras.
Thanks for letting me know, I must have put that there by mistake!
I believe the supporters are the sisters of the bride and groom, she had seven and he had five. I am afraid I cannot ID them even though I have met most of them, but one of the Tiaras worn at the last ceremony was worn one of the Sultan’s daughters for their Enthronement and Queen Azizah told me it was loaned from her (Pahang) aunt.
