Kelly Chen Ties The Knot

3 October 2008

Kelly Chen (陳慧琳) shed tears of joy last night as she tied the knot with her partner of 16 years, businessman Alex Lau (劉建浩), at the InterContinental Hotel.

Kelly, 36, and Alex, 35, exchanged vows before hundreds of relatives and friends at 52 tables in the ballroom. Eric Tsang (曾志偉) and Jerry Lamb (林曉峰) were the MCs.

The bride wore an off-white wedding dress, with a 10-metre train and 999 cloth flowers, designed by friend and art director Kenneth Yee (奚仲文). Her six-carat wedding ring matched her 10-carat diamond earrings. The groom looked smart in a black tuxedo.

In a touching moment after the couple crossed arms for a customary champagne toast, Kelly became overwhelmed with emotion and dabbed a tissue to her damp eyes, while comforted by her new husband.

In a photo call just before the ceremony Kelly had told reporters: "I thought I'd be moved to tears by now, but I haven't yet because I've been in a rush all day. I've been too busy to cry."

She added: "I'm still not used to being called 'Mrs Lau'."

Kelly's manager revealed that Alex paid for the wedding and that the banquet alone cost around HK$3 million.

The generous couple also laid on 12 tables and an $888-a-head buffet in a separate room for journalists.
