Siddikur Rahman ties the knot

Jan 21, 2015. Siddikur Rahman tied the knot in a quiet ceremony at the Kurmitola Golf Club. The 30-year-old golfer, who won the Asian Tour title twice, is getting married to Auroni Samaun, a golf enthusiast.

The shy and unassuming golfer, who has been busy with preparations for the big day, preferred to keep the marriage plans a secret. The newspapers in Bangladesh were quick to pick up on the news and printed a picture of the newly weds in Prothom Alo.

The bride Auroni Samaun has recently completed her honours degree from a university in Dhaka. Her family resides in the cantonment area of Dhaka according to reports.

Siddikur wore a nice blue sherwani outfit along with a matching headgear while his bride was resplendent in red. Siddikur enjoyed his biggest career victory when he won the 2013 Hero Indian Open at his favourite golf course, the Delhi Golf Club and notched seven other top-10s. He was also the first Bangladeshi to represent his country at the ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf in Australia and earned his place to represent Team Asia at the inaugural EurAsia Cup present by DRB-HICOM when he finished in fourth place on the Order of Merit, the third time in four seasons that he has finished top-10 on the rankings. He wrote a slice of history in 2010 when he became the first player from Bangladesh to win on the Asian Tour.
