HONG KONG - One of Hong Kong's leading entertainment couples, actors Tony Leung and Carina Lau, were married in Bhutan in a Buddhist-inspired ceremony attended by the tiny kingdom's royalty, local media reported on Monday.
Tony and Carina married in the reclusive Himalayan kingdom, known for its breathtaking, pristine natural scenery, on Monday at the exclusive Uma Paro resort.
Newspapers and websites carried photographs of Tony and Carina, who have been together for many years, posing before a congregation of monks in red robes, Tony wearing a tuxedo and Carina in a white gown.
Bhutan royalty reportedly attended the ceremony along with 100 guests, including Canto-pop diva and actress Faye Wong.
"Thank you everyone for making such a long trip to attend our wedding. I believe it is destiny that gathers us together here," Carina was quoted by the South China Morning Post as saying.
Carina said she had chosen Bhutan for her nuptials after a spiritually uplifting visit to the snow-capped Himalayan kingdom.
"I felt the peace the moment I arrived in Bhutan ... I could understand that people here are happy not because of their material life, but because of their satisfaction on a spiritual level," Carina was quoted in the paper as saying
