Cantopop star Gillian Chung weds Taiwanese doctor in classic Los Angeles hotel

-

Singer Gillian Chung has wed Taiwanese doctor Michael Lai in a ceremony hosted in Los Angeles.

Gillian, 37, wore an elegant Jenny Packham ivory flock tulle Adorn wedding dress, with ruffled sleeves and a deep-V chiffon collar.

The glamorous reception was hosted at the historic 1923 Millennium Biltmore Hotel.

Gillian and Lai got engaged in February.

The night before the wedding celebratio­n, their families attended a banquet dinner at a Chinese restaurant across the street from the luxury hotel.

Lai, who was previously married to former air hostess Ivy Chao, practises medical cosmetolog­y – the study and applicatio­n of beauty treatments, such as cosmetic surgery, hair and skin care and botox injections.

In a touching yet amusing moment during the wedding celebratio­n, Gillian – instead of tossing the bouquet over her shoulder in the traditiona­l way – sprinted towards her dumbstruck, long-time best pal Charlene Choi and shoved the flowers into her hands. You can’t get more blatant.

Gillian and Charlene are members of the music duo known as Twins.

In an emotional post after the wedding celebratio­n, Charlene recounted her 18 years of sisterhood with Gillian, and wrote: “You will forever be my ‘little Gill’.”
