Low-key celebrity show stopper: Shu Qi and Stephen Fung tie the knot in simple ceremony

The surprise announcement on Saturday of the marriage of Taiwanese actress Shu Qi to Hong Kong-based actor and director Stephen Fung almost upstaged events at the G20 summit.

Shu, 40, and Feng, 42, said in a statement that their decision to get married was a sudden one but the bride was not pregnant.

The nuptials were in contrast to the millions of yuan spent on the wedding of celebrity couple Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy, who entertained 2,000 guests from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong last year.

“There won’t be any wedding banquet or party,” Fung said in the statement.

“After knowing each other for 20 years and being in love for four years ... I married [Shu] unreservedly.”
