It's official - Michelle Reis is married to Hong Kong's businessman tycoon, Julian Hui, 46.

Hong Kong celebrity website Batgwa.com reported that the couple were married in a civil wedding ceremony at the groom's family home in Shek O, Hong Kong after being involved in a cinema-style car chase by Hong Kong's paparazzi.  The bride was fetched from her home in a silver-coloured Rolls Royce, accompanied by a security escort that was 20-men strong.

A spokeswoman for the couple spoke to reporters gathered outside the property to announce their wedding after the ceremony was over. She also handed out HK$1,000 lucky packets to the members of the press who were present.

The website also reported that the ceremony lasted 20 minutes, while their first kiss as Mr and Mrs Hui was 20 seconds long. The couple were also moved to tears when they signed the marriage documents.

The entire wedding was held to the tune of HK$100 million, and there was a Western-style reception following the civil ceremony in the day.

Michelle, 38, who is known for her youthful-looking beauty in the Hong Kong showbiz circle, drew the paparazzi's attention with her 14-month long affair with Julian while he was still married to his then-wife, Pansy Ho, daughter of another tycoon, Stanley Ho. He eventually ended his 16-year marriage with the latter.
