Kelantan crown prince to tie the knot with Swedish bride on April 19

Tengku Mahkota Kelantan Tengku Muhammad Faiz Petra, 45, will be tying the knot with Sofie Louise Johansson, 33, who hails from Sweden, on April 19.

Kelantan Palace ceremonial chief Tengku Mohamed Faziharudean Tengku Feissal said the wedding ceremony will be held in the evening on April 19 and will be a closed-door one on a moderate scale.

"His Highness has also ordered that gifts in conjunction with the wedding be channelled to welfare bodies in Kelantan like Yayasan Orang Kurang Upaya, orphanages and old folks’ homes as well as the Malaysian Red Crescent Society.

“His Highness seeks the prayers of the people that his marriage will go smoothly and receives the blessings of Allah until jannah (paradise)," he told a press conference at Istana Balai Besar here today.

Tengku Mohamed Faziharudean said the ceremony would begin with the marriage solemnisation followed by the royal couple sitting on the wedding dais and a royal banquet.

"The wedding ceremony will be attended by the Kelantan royalty and close friends of His Highness.

"Perhaps, after the wedding, His Highness will join events with the people to introduce his wife whom he has known for a long time,” he added.

Prior to this, a wedding invitation on their marriage had gone viral on social media.
