Carina Lau, Tony Leung married in Buddhist ceremony
Posted: 2008/07/22
From: MNN
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.
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.

The Lamas chanted their prayers for about 2 hours,the process is strict and consecrated. The guests were each given a joss stick,a silk banner,a silk ribbon and a seven coloured string as offerings and tributes for the Lama. Carina wore traditional chinese dress,with jade bangles and knelt infront of the 17th Krampa together with Tony Leung. The both received the 17th Krampa's blessings while kneeling on the floor.

They make a delightful couple. I hope they continue to have a long and satisfying life together. _________________ Sheila

I'm fine...I've sent you a PM. Don't you think that Carina looks radiantly happy? Do you think she was a bit intoxicated by the thin air...or just over the moon after nabbing Tony at last? _________________ Sheila
