Chryseis Tan and Faliq Nasimuddin, two scions of some of Malaysia’s largest fortunes whose family business interests include property, tied the knot on February 3, at an intimate affair in Bukit Tinggi, Bentong.
The wedding was held at The Chateau, a luxury resort that resembles a 12th century medieval Haut Koenigsbourg castle in Alsace, France that is touted as the world’s first organic spa and wellness resort by its owner the Berjaya Group, founded and managed by the bride’s father Tan Sri Vincent Tan. The private ceremony took place amid a dreamy set-up, with a floral backdrop and pastel theme, with friends and family of the couple in attendance. Faliq had popped the question in Morocco at the end of June last year with an equally impressive and romantic profusion of blooms in the Hotel Royal Mansour in Marrakech.
The elite couple each hold leadership positions in their respective family businesses — Chryseis is chief executive of Berjaya Times Square, one of the largest malls in Kuala Lumpur, while Faliq is group managing director of property developer Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd. The newly weds wholeheartedly embraced their respective Malay and Chinese wedding traditions. Brother of the groom SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin shared photos of the “gate-crashing” games when the groom and his band of brothers (Heng Dai or best men) picked up the bride at The Chateau in Bukit Tinggi, Bentong.
Traditionally during Chinese weddings, the bride’s maids of honour set up a series of challenges for the groom and his Heng Dai to accomplish before they are allowed to take the bride to the groom’s tea ceremony. The bride’s father had also recited a Malay poem at the couple’s solemnisation ceremony, according to an Instagram Story video posted by event management company Laskar Sonas Productions, the Astro Awani website reported.
