The couple, known collectively as BASS, were joined by 3,000 guests for a night filled with music, dance, and heartfelt speeches. The festivities kicked off at 8.41pm with Bella's children, Ayden and Ara, making their entrance, followed by the couple at 8.46pm. Rizalman designed their first outfits, Hijabisthub crafted Syed Saddiq's second, and Alia Bastamam created Bella's. Live music was provided by Datuk Mokhzani and his DM & String Ensemble, while Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza and Jaclyn Victor performed for the guests. Bella Astillah performed a new song, 'Bersama Aku Setia Selamanya', as a special dedication to Syed Saddiq. The newlyweds thanked their loved ones for their love, support, and sacrifices, with Syed Saddiq calling Bella \"the ultimate mother\" and saying he was \"the luckiest man on the face of this earth\". The couple's love story continues with two public receptions in Muar and Kota Kinabalu.",
