BEIJING, July 22 -- 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.

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

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.
