The Crown Prince of the Sultanate of Brunei has married today in a lavish ceremony, being described as Asia's wedding of the year.

To help add to the traditional Malay ceremony, gold was used as a key feature - with a gold crown and throne for the Prince.

The 30-year-old prince and his 17-year-old bride even travelled in top style, driving a gold open-topped Rolls Royce across the capital.

As well as a traditional snake-bladed Malay dagger tucked into the Prince's slash, his bride also wore an outfit adorned with gold.

According to BBC News Online, the ceremony was attended by two thousand guests including royalty and politicians from all over the world.
