Fala Chen and Matthew Ko at Wedding Promotion

Fala Chen and Matthew Ko wore traditional Chinese wedding costumes at a promotional event at Causeway Bay's Times Square yesterday. Wearing golden pig and golden bracelets, Fala entered in a sedan chair and groom Matthew kicked the door in the traditional way causing a few comic moments. Fala and Matthew then witnessed nine pairs of real couples getting married in a very heartwarming ceremony. This touched Fala who said that when she gets married, she will do both the Chinese and Western traditions.

Fala indicates that this is not the first time she has worn a traditional Chinese wedding gown and she has done shows before in this outfit, but it was not as grand as this event and she did not have the gold jewellery last time. She says: "Although the golden pig is very heavy and hard work, it is very sparkly and eyecatching." Asked if she is tempted to get married now, she says she is moved and when she does get married in the future, she will follow all the traditions both Chinese and Western, but as she is a Chinese person, then the Chinese traditions will come first. When does she want to get married? She says that when she was studying, she hoped to get married before she is 30, but she has not found her true love yet, so she believes she will not be ready to marry before she is 30. As she would like to have children, then she will not get married too late in life. When the host joked that Fala looked like she was very eager to get married, she smiled: "Even if I am eager, I will not marry Matthew."

As the weather was quite warm yesterday, Matthew was a little sweaty in his suit. He says that his father got married when he was 21, but he feels that this age is too early and his ideal age for marriage is after he is 35. He feels that marriage is a big event in life and is a great responsibility, so he will settle his career first. Talking of his ideal marriage ceremony, Matthew says that as he works in entertainment, he has to wear a lot of make up, so when he gets married, he would like it to be low profile, but if his other half wants a big ceremony, then he will respect her wishes.
