Taking center stage to exchange vows
Print Edition
THE closing act at a charity event, this week, actress Zhou Xun sang two songs then stayed on stage for the encores.
Rumors had swirled beforehand that Zhou would announce her engagement to actor Archie Kao at Wednesday’s concert in Hangzhou, the capital of the eastern province of Zhejiang.
But after she sang, Zhou went backstage to change and reappeared in an ivory Chanel wedding gown, holding a bouquet. As the crowd broke into a loud cheer, she was joined onstage by Kao, wearing a black tuxedo.
The couple surprised everyone by announcing that they were getting married on stage, and exchanged vows and rings before the audience.
After saying “I do,” Kao told the crowd, “It’s love that brought us all here tonight, and it’s also love that brought me and my wife together.”
A beaming Zhou said that while she’s played a bride in movie roles she was happy to have her own big day.
Zhou’s official Weibo account quickly posted a photograph of the couple in their wedding outfits sharing a kiss.
Zhou, 39, is one of China’s most sought-after actresses and made her Hollywood debut in “Cloud Atlas,” starring alongside Tom Hanks and Halle Berry.
Kao, 44, is a Chinese-American actor whose credits include the television series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.”
