The relationship saga involving Hong Kong actress Vivian Chow and writer Joe Nieh have finally come to a resolution, when the pair took their wedding vows before a pastor in Vivian's home in Hong Kong yestereday.

However, the couple had led the Hong Kong media on a wild goose chase, with rumours that the wedding was to be held in Hong Kong's Turf Club in Happy Valley.

The bride was said to have donned friend and designer Dorian Ho's wedding dress for the simple ceremony that was witnessed by about 20 close friends.

Groom Joe Nieh reached Vivian's apartment at 3pm (Hong Kong time) yesterday, wearing a white jacket and sunglasses. He was annoyed when approached by the media who were waiting for him for comments, and declined to be interviewed. The couple's friends arrived shortly after, including the bride's make-up artist.

About an hour later, the media suspected that looked to be Vivian's escort car was driven out of the building, with the pastor leaving about an hour after that. He apparently told the waiting media that the couple were married earlier in a simple ceremony, with the proceedings ending about 4pm. He also said they were very happy after signing the papers.

The couple later released pictures of themselves at the wedding ceremony to the media.
