Taiwanese actress Alice Bai's wedding banquet features father's heartfelt songs and couple's solemn prayer

Taiwanese actress Alice Bai and her husband, Wu Dong-yan, celebrated their marriage eight years after tying the knot with a lavish wedding banquet in Taipei. The event, which featured 70 tables and an estimated cost of NT$4 million (approximately $120,000 USD), was a tearful and emotional occasion for the couple and their guests.

As Bai walked down the aisle with her father, she was overcome with emotion, her tears flowing uncontrollably. Wedding host Lin Po-yu, an actress who had previously worked with Bai, shared a touching anecdote about Bai's "tear duct switch." She revealed that Bai would often call her father when she needed to cry for a scene, and simply hearing his voice would bring her to tears.

In a unique and deeply moving gesture, Bai's father chose not to deliver a lengthy speech or offer traditional advice. Instead, he serenaded the couple on the red carpet with soulful renditions of "Love Me, Don't Go" by Yeh Ai-ling and "Leave the Sadness to Myself" by Chen Sheng. His performance powerfully conveyed his complex emotions as he handed over his "first love" to another man, leaving guests visibly moved.

The solemnization ceremony was officiated by pastors Song Yi-min and Chen Wei-ling. Bai and Wu Dong-yan knelt together, their hands clasped on the Bible, closing their eyes in a deeply spiritual and sacred prayer. This moment of shared devotion was followed by Wu Dong-yan gently lifting Bai's veil, and the couple shared a passionate kiss and a tight embrace amidst cheers from hundreds of friends, family, and celebrities.

Both Bai and Wu Dong-yan had tears of happiness in their eyes as they embraced, marking a joyous culmination of their long-awaited celebration. The event was a testament to their enduring love and the strong bonds of family and faith.
