The wedding of the nineteen-year-old daughter of a Chinese real estate investor with the son of one of Hong Kong’s largest textile exporters, who is a few years older, takes place at a time when the bride is six months pregnant.
According to Buddhist tradition, the official wedding ceremony takes place in a temple within the city limits of Hong Kong.
Afterwards the young bridal couple is flown by helicopter to a casino still under construction in Shanghai.
There – according to the will of the father of the bride – the wedding photos will be taken.
