KUALA LUMPUR: Taiwanese actress Joe Chen finally walked the aisle with her Malaysian husband Alan Chen last Sunday.
Their wedding reception came two years after they registered their marriage.
The reception, which was held in The Danna Langkawi, was attended by close friends and family, such as celebrities Ming Dao, Joe Cheng and members of Joe's former girl group 7 Flowers.
The excitement leading up to the 45-year-old actress' wedding reception was recorded in multiple posts on her social media accounts where she was seen practising for her first dance with Alan, 36.
Joe also uploaded multiple Instagram Stories taken together with Alan and her bridesmaids, 7 Flowers members Joyce Chao, Doris Lai, Jade Chu and Qiu Weifen, as well as groomsmen Ming Dao and Joe Cheng.
During the ceremony, Joe and Alan walked down the aisle together amidst cheers and applause from their guests.
In his wedding speech, Alan told Joe that returning to Langkawi for their wedding reception felt like an "arrangement by fate" and that their encounter was "destined".
They met on Chinese reality dating programme Meeting Mr Right II in 2019 and the Langkawi Sky Bridge was the spot where he first asked her to be his girlfriend.
Joe said: "I feel very blessed, thank you for coming. Alan, you are my love, my family, my best friend and my perfect travelling companion."
Ming Dao, who acted with Joe in multiple dramas including The Prince Who Turns Into A Frog (2005) and My Best Pal (2007), was seen carrying his sleeping daughter while singing Ming Tian Wo Yao Jia Gei Ni (I'll Marry You Tomorrow).
Joyce and Doris thanked Joe for inviting them to be her bridesmaids in separate Instagram posts.
Doris, 39, said: "With our friendship of more than 20 years, on your important day, we recall the times we had worked together. We still have good chemistry and non-stop laughter. I want to tell you that it's always great being your sister."
Joyce, 44, said: "So happy that Joe looked for us to be her bridesmaids and for us to be part of an important event in each other's lives. We are all married women now and must be happy forever!"
Joe also shared her wedding photos in an Instagram post with the caption: "Being a bride is so tiring. There's no need to lose weight, I completely forgot to eat."
