Wedding bells finally rang for them!
PARO (Bhutan) - Long-time celebrity couple Carina Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai were finally married in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
It took them 20 years to get to the altar.
And on the day they tied the knot in the grounds of the Uma Paro hill-top resort they weathered another storm, literally, as pouring rain threatened to dampen the festivities.
The 43-year-old actress and 46-year-old actor were married in a Buddhist ceremony,
said Sina news website.
About 20 lamas were seen leaving the hotel after the wedding.
(HOW COOL IS THAT?) haha
lamas at your wedding.
The bride's dress was by designer Vera Wang and her make-up by Singaporean Zing,
who told Oriental Daily News he created a fresh 'morning dew' look for her.
Sina said a five-tier cake was flown in for the wedding from Oriental Hotel in Bangkok,
where the couple stopped over last week on their way from Hong Kong to Paro.
Ming Pao Daily News said most of the guests had taken along red wine, champagne and whisky to the Buddhist kingdom - at the couple's request.
The banquet at the hotel was the second bash in two nights,
following an ethnic-themed one on Sunday -
where Lau was draped in diamonds and what looked like an Indian dress,
said Oriental.
On Sunday, the couple also sent the media a bridal photo
that showed them posing in the Ugyen Pelri palace and
wearing royal Bhutanese wedding costumes.
Leung was in a robe that the king's uncle wore to his own wedding while Lau was in bridal garments prepared for the king's two-year-old cousin.
In a press statement on Sunday,
Leung and Lau first paired up in 1988, according to Ming Pao.

Leung and Lau first paired up in 1988, according to Ming Pao. But they kept their romance quiet in the first year because he had just broken up with actress Margie Tsang - a friend of Lau's.
In their years together, celebrities from actress Maggie Cheung to billionaire Terry Gou were alleged to have come between them.
But Lau has said she will love Leung 'till the end of the world'.
