The 24-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Pakistani activist, Malala Yousafzai tied the knot on Tuesday with her long-time partner Asser Malik in a private nikkah ceremony at Birmingham in the United Kingdom (UK). The activist shared pictures of her intimate wedding ceremony on her official social media handles.

For the ceremony, Malala opted for a traditional soft pink suit which came encrusted with jewels on the border and she paired it with a matching hijab. She accessorized the look with a mang tikka. For the glam, she opted for minimal makeup. The groom, Asser, opted for a three-piece suit and he teamed it with a pink tie to complement Malala’s outfit.

Malala wrote on Twitter, “Today marks a precious day in my life. Asser and I tied the knot to be partners for life. We celebrated a small nikkah ceremony at home in Birmingham with our families. Please send us your prayers. We are excited to walk together for the journey ahead.”

Malala’s wedding photograph Malin Fezehai wrote, “Together with the rest of the world, I began following @malala story nearly a decade ago, after her harrowing defence of women and girls’ education and seeing her become the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner in history. Never in my wildest dreams did I think our paths would cross and I would be photographing her wedding.”

Here, we wish the newly married couple a happy married life!
