AFTER 20 years of marriage and bringing up two children, Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen (pic) finally held an official wedding ceremony with his wife at the picturesque Lake Como in Italy.

China Press reported that the 59-year-old actor and his wife Cissy Wang, who is 17 years his junior, invited their family members, friends and celebrities such as Wang Baoqiang, Ray Lui, Niki Chow, William So and Wong Jing.

The couple’s two children, Jasmine and James, Yen’s sister and brother-in-law, and Wang’s parents and 90-year-old grandmother were in attendance too.

“Thank you for your unconditional love and kindness in going through all these years together with me. Thank you for being my pillar of strength,” Yen told his wife.

“This wedding is held at Lake Como – the place that you love – in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of our marriage,” he said.

The couple and their children were dressed in matching white attire during the ceremony on July 19. Yen and his son were in bow ties and suits. They even arranged a speed boat, an antique car and a mansion for the wedding shoot.

She claimed that the man had slandered her, besides forging some documents.

Relating this on social media, she said that her fans had come up with “piles of documents” which showed that some of them were cheated as far back as two years ago.
