It was a 22-year long, on-again off-again battle for Sammi Cheng and Andy Hui, but the couple reconciled their differences two years ago and decided to become lifetime partners.

According to a Jayne Stars article, while a small wedding ceremony was held in Bali, Indonesia in November, the couple will register their marriage in Hong Kong later.

However, the couple clarified through their manager that they are engaged and not married. Their two families had travelled to Bali to celebrate the engagement, reported Sing Tao Daily.

In a column Sammi wrote for a magazine earlier, she professed that she once had a fear for getting married as she has had many friends who had failed marriages.

Andy proposed to Sammi seven times before finally succeeding in persuading her to marry him.

He had attempted to propose to Sammi under different settings - on New Year Eve's party, Christmas parties, Valentine Day's parties, and reportedly even tried to play it down by asking her casually while the couple were on vacation, but Sammi turned him down in the previous attempts.

Andy tried his luck again this August during Sammi's birthday party, which was attended by only close family members.

Andy said in a brief interview days ago, "I did everything you could think of doing in a proposal!"

An insider said, "Andy lied to [Sammi] and said he had work so he couldn't go, but he surprised her at the party.

He showed up with her birthday cake and a bouquet of flowers. Sammi was very surprised and couldn't stop smiling.

Andy suddenly kneeled with his ring and proposed to her sweetly. The diamond was at least three carats! Sammi was teary and she said yes!"
