While other celebrities have cancelled or postponed their wedding plans amidst growing concerns about Covid-19, Malaysian-born Hong Kong-based actress Jacquelin Ch’ng just got married to her Taiwanese boyfriend Brian Yang in a simple wedding ceremony attended by family members and close friends at her home in Hong Kong.
Due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, both sets of parents could not fly to Hong Kong to attend the wedding so the happy couple had to resort to simultaneous video-calls to their respective parents so that they could participate in the ceremony.
“We set up the video-calls so that both sets of our parents could witness our wedding. They felt that it was very amusing. Everybody was very happy for us, ” said the 39-year-old actress who had been dating her 40-year-old beau for six months before he popped the question during a vacation in Phuket.
A video of the low-key wedding was uploaded on the Jacquelin’s Youtube account on Mar 15, showing how she took her vows in Cantonese while Yang did his in Mandarin.
The bridal bouquet was caught by her sister Lisa, 33, who is dating Hong Kong actor Mat Yeung Ming, 39.
Since the whole wedding was conducted at the Ch’ng family home in Hong Kong and attended only by her godfather, siblings and close friends, Jacquelin said it was a very relaxed affair. “It felt more like a party than an actual wedding.”
Despite it being a low-key wedding reception, the statuesque beauty had three wedding gowns. For a photoshoot by the rooftop swimming pool, she showed off her hourglass figure in a midriff-baring two-piece outfit. Then, she wore an off-shoulder low-cut gown when they took their vows, signed their marriage licence and exchanged wedding rings. She was later seen wearing another shoulder-baring dress in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Jacquelin first announced on social media last September that she was dating Yang, who runs a boba tea business in Taiwan. Then in mid-February, it was revealed that she had applied for a marriage licence with Yang.
Born in Malaysia and raised in Hong Kong, Jacquelin has been living in Hong Kong since the age of five as her family moved there to further their real estate business.
Her parents are Malaysian property tycoons Datuk Bill Ch’ng Poh and Datin Kong Yuk Chu, who have moved back to Malaysia, and are currently based in Kuala Lumpur with her brother Charles.
However, she and her sisters Lisa and Mona remained in Hong Kong, and are well-known socialites with glamorous lifestyles.
