Love Takes Flight: Captain Shaheen Adam and Edna Sinimon's Wedding

In the company of 330 close friends and family members, Captain Ahmed Shaheen Adam of AirAsia tied the knot with his beloved bride Edna Sinimon in a delightfully upbeat ceremony attended by distinguished guests including Chief Justice of Malaysia, Tan Sri Richard Malanjum and Tan Sri Tony Fernandes among several others. Rife with light-hearted inflight references, the evening marked a fitting new chapter to a love story that began when Captain Shaheen met Sabah-born Edna in Kota Kinabalu.

The groom’s parents, Captain Dato' Fareh Mazputra Tun Ahmad Fairuz and Datin Sheron Justmen Dutta were joined by grandfather and former Chief Justice of Malaysia, Tun Ahmad Fairuz Dato’ Sheikh Abdul Halim, grandmother Toh Puan Mazni Mohd Noor and maternal grandmother Maimum Mat Nor. Traditional dance performances and heartfelt song dedications by family members carried through the night, ending with the couple’s first dance to Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’.
