Marriage Ceremony In A Penguin Tank Enters Malaysia Books Of Records

LANGKAWI (Kedah, Malaysia), March 12 (Bernama) -- Wedding bells rang inside an aquarium full of penguins for two couples who opted to make a difference by sitting on makeshift dais at the Underwater World Langkawi (UWL) during their marriage ceremony. Mohd Fazli Abdul Rahman, 31, who wedded Nursalmah Tajuddin, 27, and Mohd Shodri Bahador, 25 who tied the knot with Nurul Naziemah Rahim, 22, were employees of UWL. They performed the ceremony in two separate aquariums, namely, the tank housing African penguins and Rockhoppers, while feeding the penguins in the tanks. The event, recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records, was also witnessed by Langkawi Member of Parliament Abu Bakar Taib. The spectacle, in the two tanks which lasted for 15 minutes, was accompanied by those handling the penguins, who acted as bridesmaids to ensure everything went smoothly, especially in terms of security of the couples. Equipment for the brides and bridegrooms, such as chairs and decorations in the tanks, were adapted to suit the penguin tanks. -- BERNAMA
