A Miracle in Bhutan
During our final itinerary preparations and site inspections in Bhutan, we had the incredible fortune of encountering Mr. Tony Leung and Ms. Carina Lau on our ascent to Tiger’s Nest. They are one of Asia’s most successful and internationally recognized actors. It was a truly unforgettable experience!
Tony Leung & Carina Lau's Wedding in Bhutan, 2008
Tony Leung and Carina Lau’s wedding is indeed a notable event, celebrated for its romantic and picturesque setting. They tied the knot in 2008, in a beautiful ceremony held in Bhutan, a country known for its stunning landscapes and serene atmosphere.
The wedding of Tony Leung and Carina Lau is particularly significant in the context of their long-standing relationship, which had endured for over two decades before they finally tied the knot. Their love story, filled with ups and downs, resonated with fans and added to the allure of their wedding.
Their choice of Bhutan, the intimate nature of the ceremony, and the incorporation of local culture made their wedding a memorable event both for them and their guests.
Please watch this video, and hear what Carina’s says about their wedding by herself. (*Please note: Commentary is in Mandarin)
