Retired colleague Haji Openg Onn Net and wife Sabariah Jaini hosted a wedding reception for their daughter Noor Monerah and hubby Muhammad Nazri on the 10th floor.
It was the first such event to be held by the public at the place which has over the past six years been utilised for office functions.
Bernama Chairman Datuk Seri Azman Ujang graced the occasion with the song 'Ilham Pujangga' -- the first time he was rendering the patriotic number in public.
Long before the 10th floor took its role as the "function place", staff had organised a wedding reception for Bernama colleagues Muhammad Adam Jayabalan and Engku Zafirah Engku Ab Rahim on the 13th floor in December 2010.
It was among the vacant floors available then of the 16-storey Wisma Bernama.
The 13th floor has since been renovated to occupy the Human Resource Department.
