Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar will present seven trays of wedding gifts to the bride, while the family of the bride will reciprocate by presenting nine trays to the groom.
According to Rahim, the 'merisik' tradition (to get acquainted with the family) was held on Sept 27 via an entourage headed by Johor Temenggong, Tunku Idris Sultan Iskandar.
During the ceremony, a flag will be flown by the state's army as well as the firing of seven shots of cannon by the Royal Artillery Regiment.
Born on July 16, 1993 in Kuala Lumpur, Khaleeda, 21, is the youngest child of five siblings Bustamam Daud and his wife, Aziyah Abdul Aziz.

Abdul Rahim also announced that the 'persandingan' reception of Tunku Mahkota Johor and Cik Khaleeda would be held at 7.30 pm on Nov 8 at the Istana Besar, Johor Baharu.
