Apparently the man is the bride's employer, whom he has looked after for decades.
Apart from coming to congratulate him, the Arab man also brought gifts in the form of gold jewelry to the bride and groom. What's unique is that every time the Arab man spoke, the guests present always responded with amen as if they were praying.
"If you think it's a prayer, it's just our people," wrote the account.
Instead of praying, apparently the Arab man was talking about his closeness to Aunt Merry, whom he considered his second mother. The excitement of the wedding event was even more felt when the man handed out money bills as saweran while he was dancing.
The viral dangdut singer's change to become a migrant worker in Saudi Arabia changed his life.
In fact, he is now more successful after becoming an Indonesian worker or migrant worker in Saudi Arabia than before when he was a dangdut singer.
He does not regret leaving the entertainment stage and has now worked in other countries for decades. The woman's name is Fitriani, from Madura, East Java.
Fitriani even took her husband to work as an Indonesian worker or TKI in Saudi Arabia. Fitriani's husband's name is Mahfud.
Not long ago he was interviewed by YouTuber Alman Mulyana.
"How long have you worked in the royal family," asked YouTuber Alman Mulyana, as reported by TribunNewsmaker.com on Thursday, (25/1/2024).
"I'm fifteen now," answered Mahfud TKI in Saudi Arabia.
Apart from that, he also explained that he was continuing his parents' old work. "So the job was inherited from my parents, from my late father," said Mahfud.

Meanwhile, Mahfud's wife Fitriani revealed that while she and her husband worked at the house they rarely met their employer in person. "But it's rare before once, once every two months," said Fitriani. "I met him in Taif, so because my boss is a woman, I met him in Jeddah," he continued.
This is what made Fitriani and Mahfud feel very at home working as migrant workers in the house of the king of Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, talking about salaries, according to Fitriani, she and her husband receive a salary above the salary given to TKI in general.
"Compared to other TKW-TKW, it's probably a bit top. And the actual salary isn't that impressive because TKI also do business here, right, Kang Alman," said Fitriani.
Upon further investigation, the husband and wife couple who were migrant workers revealed that the bonuses given by their employers were very large.
"What makes us feel at home is Alman's bonus, not only," said Fitriani. "So the bonus is bigger than the salary," said Mahfud.
Mahfud also revealed that the bonus he and his wife received from their employer could reach 15 thousand Riyals. If converted into rupiah, the bonus that these TKI get can reach IDR 60 million.
"We got 15,000 Riyals for Eid alone," said Mahfud. "Rp. 60 million for one person means that if you have two, you can buy an Avanza," said Alman after learning about the bonuses given to TKI couples in Saudi Arabia.
For your information, it is said that Fitriani was a dangdut singer when she and her husband still lived in Madura. However, after deciding to work in Saudi Arabia, Fitriani decided to leave her job as a dangdut singer. He chose to become a migrant worker with a fantastic salary in Saudi Arabia.
