Carina Lau, Tony Leung married in Buddhist ceremony

Long-time celebrity couple Carina Lau (Liu Jialing) and Tony Leung (Liang Chaowei) were finally married in the Hilmalayan kingdon of Bhutan Monday morning, HK reporters said.

Carina Lau and Tony Leung with matching ivory wedding outfits are seen at their wedding held on July 21, 2008 at the luxurious Uma Paro hotel in Bhutan. The Hong Kong star couple finally tied the knot after being together for 19 years.

It took Tony, 46, and Carina 42, nearly two decades to get to the altar.

They were married in a Buddhist ceremony taking place in the luxury Uma Paro Hotel, media reported, adding that about 20 lamas were seen leaving the hotel after the wedding.

Their spokesperson reported that the ceremony had taken place in two parts – the first being a traditional Buddhist ceremony that is officially recognized as a marriage in Bhutan. For the second part, Carina showed off her 12-carat Cartier wedding ring, worth over 10 million Hong Kong dollars, as she cut her five-tiered wedding cake with Tony.

Ming Pao Daily News said about 80 guests, including singer Faye Wong (Wang Fei), former actress Brigitte Lin (Lin Qingxia) and singer Kenny Bee (Zhong Zhentao), attended the ceremony.

Celebrities such as Chang Chen (Zhang Zhen), Cecilia Yip (Ye Tong) and Stanley Kwan (Guan Jinpeng) were also present.

Although the couple did everything to maintain privacy for their special day, they were still very understanding of the waiting press and issued official release photographs to share their happy day with the media and all their fans throughout the world.
