37 year old TVB actress and cancer survivor, Mandy Lam, was diagnoised with breast cancer in 2010 and fortunately won the battle after a year of treatment. Yesterday she married her 40 year old boyfriend (Chan Chung Yuen) of 13 years at a church in HK. Wong Cho Lam and his girlfriend Leanne Li, Grace Wong, Queenie Chu, Elena Kong, Macy Chan and many other good friends from the industry attended. HK businessman Francis Choi and his wife attended as well. Mr. Choi served as Mandy's wedding presider. The bride walked down the aisle in the church with Mr. Choi and he gave her hand to the groom. A touching moment!

Later, Zac Koo, Wong Cho Lam and Angela Pang performed a few songs at the ceremony. Leanne and Timothy Cheng were responsible in reading the bible. When the bride made a speech on her relationship with her husband, she felt emotional and teared up. Later, the groom and Mandy engaged in a passionate kiss with the crowd cheering in the background. After the ceremony, Mandy was relieved and expressed her wedding was more perfect than expected, all of her bridesmaids and groomsmen gave the couple wedding gifts. She said: "When they mentioned the past, I felt so emotional. Being able to be here today was definitely not easy. (Why did you invite Mr. Choi to be your presider?) My family in Canada were unable to come to HK to personally witness my marriage because of an urgent matter. The first person that came to mind was Uncle Choi, he treats me like family, like a daughter. I thought he really fitted the role as the presider, he agreed without hesitation."

Now that she's married, is her next goal to make babies? Mandy frankly expressed she's still on medication, so it will be difficult for her to have a Snake baby, "My husband loves children, I don't know whether I'm going to disappoint him or not. Fortunately, he didn't think that was a shortcoming, so let God make the arrangements. (When are you going on honeymoon?) My family is coming back to HK in March, we'll be having dinner and perhaps go on vacation together then." After marriage, Mandy will continue working, she said: "The HK 4 million dollar homes are treasured gifts for the poor, I will continue working hard!"
