#SHOWBIZ: Battling a fever, XPDC's Arif Izo powers through dream wedding ceremony
KUALA LUMPUR: October 10 was certainly a day for celebrated unions, marked not only by the high-profile nuptials of singer Bella Astillah and politician Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, but also by the wedding of XPDC guitarist Arif Izo and his partner, Siti Nahirah Maulad Sulaiman.
XPDC guitarist Arif Izo, 29, married his partner Siti Nahirah Maulad Sulaiman on October 10 at the Cyber Glass Hall in Putrajaya, despite battling a severe fever and feeling physically drained. The couple's romance began in December of the previous year at the Konsert Fenomena Samurai Search-XPDC in Sarawak, where Nahirah was covering the event for Wanita Hari Ini.
The wedding date was chosen due to its numerological significance and the convenience of a Saturday, making it easier for everyone involved. The ceremony went off without a hitch, with many guests in attendance. Arif expressed gratitude for the smooth proceedings and shared that their wedding planning took less than a year. Despite stepping into married life, Arif remains focused on his musical career, currently rehearsing intensively for the upcoming XPDC Reunion Concert.
