The ceremonies span over 10 days and so far have included a mix of traditions and customs.

Last Wednesday, Prince Mateen, 32, and his then-fiancée, 29, celebrated an elaborate, traditional powdering ceremony known as Istiadat Berbedak, per British media. This is a custom in Malaysia and Brunei where the groom and bride-to-be are blessed by family members, who apply paste on the couples’ hands. Mateen shared several pics of this intimate event on his Instagram.
