The couple was reported to have received RM25 million worth of sponsorship for their wedding, dubbed the ‘Wedding of The Year’, which included jewellery worth RM20 million, wedding dresses, decorations, dais and door gifts for guests.

The marriage was solemnised by Elias Zakaria, director of Universiti Sains Malaysia’s human transformation centre at 9pm

Shaheizy Sam, 34, presented Syatilla, 25, with a dowry of RM10,082, a ring and seven trays of gifts, and received nine trays of wedding gifts in return.

The bride’s family will host the reception at Bukit Jawi Golf Resort tomorrow, and the groom’s at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Feb 14.

Shaheizy Sam, who had won the Berita Harian’s Most Popular Star title twice, said he was grateful that the solemnisation ceremony went well without a glitch.

“Alhamdulillah (All praises to Allah), everything ran smoothly and we are now husband and wife. I hope all quarters, especially our fans, will pray for our marriage to last a lifetime,” he said.

Meanwhile, Syatilla said it wasn’t hard for her to fall in love with Shaheizy Sam as he had always been a humble person despite the fact that he is the nation’s most famous star.

“He made me feel that he is just a normal person like me, not so much a very famous person,” said the actress.

When asked about her acting career after marriage, Syatilla said it was now up to her husband whether to allow her to continue being active on the silver screen or not.
