KUALA LUMPUR: Social media influencer and dentist Dr Afifah Hidayah Ahmad Tawfek, 36, has thanked her husband and both families for making her dream wedding reception a reality.
Taking to Threads, Dr Afifah—better known as Dr Fie—expressed her gratitude to everyone who helped ensure the “sambut menantu” reception went smoothly, while reminding followers to turn to God during life’s trials.
She noted that every hardship should be met with faith and prayer, as God knows what lies within a person’s heart.
“When the world feels overwhelming, turn your heart back to Allah. He knows the battles you never speak of and the prayers you whisper in silence.
“Thank you to everyone who attended our reception. Most importantly, thank you to my family and my husband’s family. We could never have pulled this off without all of you,” she wrote.
Her post drew warm responses from netizens, with many offering prayers for her strength, resilience and happiness in her new marriage.
Her mother, Dr Zailah Zainuddin, also shared her joy on the same platform, saying the reception went smoothly as planned.
“Alhamdulillah, we have completed the reception for our child. May Allah grant both newlyweds patience, strength and resilience in facing every test of marriage. Insya-Allah, we love you both,” she wrote, accompanied by a red heart emoji.
Hosted by the groom’s family, the reception was held at a hotel in the capital yesterday and attended by family and close friends.
Dr Fie, who was previously married to singer and entrepreneur Nubhan Ahamad, 40, tied the knot for the second time with businessman Captain Amrul Nizar Anuar on Nov 1.
The couple were pronounced husband and wife with a single lafaz in a lively ceremony, with Dr Fie receiving a dowry of one gold dinar.
Dr Fie has three children from her previous marriage—Aafiya, 9, Ahmad Aafan, 7, and Afzan Nayille, 4—who are currently under her care.
Captain Amrul Nizar is also understood to be a divorcee.
