Laurinda Ho, 31, has officially tied the knot with her Chinese-Canadian actor beau, Shawn Dou, 34, after weeks speculation that the couple, who’ve been dating since 2019, will be getting hitched this month.
On April 18, the couple took to their social media to post pictures of their Bali wedding.
According to reports, the ceremony took place at the Six Senses Uluwatu, a five-star resort in Bali. The resort was fully booked out for the event, with parties and celebrations taking place from April 17 to April 19.
It was estimated that the entire event cost about HK$50mil (S$8.5mil) and that 120 security guards were hired to ensure order. Both Shawn’s parents, as well as Laurinda’s mum, Ina Chan, was present as well.
Laurinda is the daughter of the late Stanley Ho, the Hong Kong casino king who was known for establishing Asia’s largest gaming empire. Ina Chan was his third wife.
Gifts for the wedding guests include full-sized bottles of day cream and night cream from luxury skincare brand Helena Rubinstein, which retails for about $600 each, as well as chocolates from Belgian chocolatier Pierre Marcolini, and a cologne from French perfume brand Atelier Cologne.
The gift box also came with a message from the newlyweds thanking guests for attending their big day.
“Hello, we’re about to start a new chapter of our lives, we’re overjoyed to be able to share our joy with everyone. Regardless of rain or shine, we will endure it all together, and become better people. Thankful for everyone’s company and support thus far,” read the message.
Separately, Laurinda’s good friend, Hong Kong singer G.E.M. also congratulated her on her marriage.
Reminiscing about how the two of them first met when they were both 18, G.E.M. wrote: “Seeing you grow into a gorgeous lady from a puffy-cheeked teen, a young lady who couldn’t sleep the entire night after being troubled by relationship woes, who has now become a mature woman who’s about to get married, so many memories have surfaced in my mind.”
G.E.M. went on to share more anecdotes about their friendship, before writing: “Today’s the day where you begin a new chapter in life, although I can’t make it there to witness the moment in person, but I can still send you my well wishes from afar, wishing you and Doudou eternal bliss, love, peace, and fulfilment. Regardless of whether the path ahead is smooth or bumpy, I wish that the two of you will be able to face it with joy, together. Love you.”
