Lisa Ch’ng & Mat Yeung’s Kuala Lumpur Wedding, Fully Recapped: A 10-Year Love Story, a Tearful Tea Ceremony & Plans for Two Kids
On 2 August 2026, the Hong Kong and Malaysian entertainment industries witnessed a fairytale a decade in the making. Lisa Ch’ng — the Second Runner-up at the Miss Hong Kong 2010 pageant and daughter of a Malaysian Datuk — married TVB star Mat Yeung at the JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur in a grand yet intimate banquet.
The banquet not only crowned a 10-year love story, but also set the internet buzzing: Yeung’s official “promotion” to “Malaysia’s son-in-law”, elder sister Jacqueline Chong’s ultra-practical wedding gift, and the couple’s first public reveal of their baby plans all became the talk of the town.
In this in-depth recap, we take you through every highlight of the star-studded Kuala Lumpur banquet — from the family sentiment behind the venue choice, to the Come Home Love cast flying in en masse, to the couple’s decade of ups and downs. One article, all the highlights.
Why Kuala Lumpur’s JW Marriott? The Heiress’s Homecoming & Family Bonds
Many celebrities opt for island resorts in Bali or the Maldives, or European castles, in pursuit of ultimate romance and privacy. Yet Lisa Ch’ng — widely known as the “RM800 million Datuk’s heiress” — firmly chose Malaysia’s capital for one of the most important ceremonies of her life.
In pre-wedding interviews, Ch’ng revealed the deeper reason behind the choice. Although she has built her acting career in Hong Kong, Malaysia remains her root, she said. The JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur was chosen not only for its top-tier banquet facilities capable of hosting around 300 guests, but more importantly, for “a sense of emotional homecoming”.
After all, my family is here, and this is the place where my father grew up. I wanted to come home to hold the wedding, so the whole family could gather together — calmly and happily. — Lisa Ch’ng
Her words struck a chord with many Malaysians based overseas. For her father, Datuk Chong, watching his daughter marry in the family’s Malaysian hometown was undoubtedly the greatest comfort. By placing “family reunion” above “lavish spectacle”, the wedding added a down-to-earth warmth that resonated deeply with the Malaysian Chinese community.
The Wedding Scene: No Bridal Party, a “Relaxed Party” Vibe & Yeung’s Tender Tears
Unlike typical Hong Kong-style weddings with huge bridal parties and noisy door games, the Kuala Lumpur banquet was all about being “relaxed, cosy and conversation-first”.
No bridal party — guests came to enjoy a party
The couple revealed that, mindful of guests travelling all the way from Hong Kong, they decided against a traditional bridesmaid-and-groomsman crew and skipped the tedious door games. They wanted the banquet to feel like a large private after-party, where every friend could let their hair down, enjoy good food and wine, and share in their joy.
A Come Home Love reunion in Malaysia; Yeung tears up at the tea ceremony
Another highlight was a guest list that doubled as a mini TVB annual gala. As both Yeung and Ch’ng appeared in the long-running sitcom Come Home Love: Lo And Behold, co-stars had bonded deeply. First-generation cast members including Mandy Ng and Carman Kwan flew to Malaysia specially, turning the banquet into a warm family reunion.
During the traditional Chinese tea ceremony, Yeung — known for his tough-guy screen image and reserved personality — could not hold back his tears before the blessings of both families’ parents and elders. The “iron man’s tender moment” was caught on camera and quickly went viral, with fans commenting: “Seeing Yeung cry made us cry too. These 10 years were truly not easy.”
The 10-Year Love Story: From “I Will Marry No One Else” to a Street Proposal in Guangzhou
To understand why this wedding moved so many, one must look back at the couple’s decade-long journey. In the fast-changing entertainment industry, couples who survive 10 years and make it to the altar are as rare as phoenix feathers.
Standing by him at his lowest: “I had decided it was him”
The couple began dating around 2016. Over the decade, Yeung’s career was not always smooth — he weathered serious public controversies and personal lows, including an earlier traffic incident. At his darkest hour, when he was widely criticised and his career nearly stalled, many assumed the relationship would quietly end.
Ch’ng, however, showed astonishing resolve. She never distanced herself at the critical moment; instead, she repeatedly stood by her boyfriend in public and on social media, even declaring boldly that she “would marry no one but him”. It was precisely this support through the lows that made their bond unshakeable. Yeung has said in interviews that Ch’ng is the most important person in his life — the one who helped him stand back up.
A knee-drop proposal in Guangzhou; a million-dollar wardrobe of devotion
Shortly before the Kuala Lumpur banquet, the couple travelled to Guangzhou for a pre-wedding shoot. On the romantic streets of the city, Yeung staged a surprise proposal — bouquet in hand, down on one knee, pledging his life to Ch’ng in a scene overflowing with sweetness.
For the wedding, Ch’ng spared no effort: Hong Kong media reported that she spent over HK$1 million on bespoke wedding attire, including a traditional Chinese qun kwa and Western gowns, to look her absolute best on her big day. Yeung, meanwhile, played the devoted husband throughout, cementing the couple’s post-wedding sweetness.
Hot Topics Decoded: Baby Plans, Jacqueline Chong’s “Practical” Gift & the Bouquet Shortlist
At the post-wedding media session, several highly shareable details emerged and quickly climbed the entertainment trending charts.
1. Baby plans: Ch’ng wants two; Yeung hopes for a “perfect pair”
Marriage and kids were the questions fans cared about most. Yeung took a laid-back approach, saying they would “let nature take its course” and hope for a “surprise from heaven”. Ch’ng, more candid, said with a smile that she ideally wants two children — “one would be lonely; two can keep each other company”.
The couple had also previously hinted at hoping for a boy and a girl to complete the Chinese character “好” (meaning “good” or “perfect”). It seems “Malaysia’s son-in-law” Yeung may well be upgrading to fatherhood in the near future.
2. Jacqueline Chong’s cash gift hailed as “the most practical”
As the industry’s famous doting elder sister, Jacqueline Chong returned home to witness her younger sister’s wedding — and her gift was unexpectedly down-to-earth: cold, hard cash.
Jacqueline humorously explained that a large wedding comes with enormous expenses everywhere, so cash is not only practical but also lets the couple freely buy what they truly love or fund their honeymoon. Her “anti-cliché” pragmatism sparked heated online discussion, with netizens praising: “Now that’s a real sister — cash is the most practical!” and “Noted. I’m giving cash at my friends’ weddings from now on.”
3. Bouquet shortlist announced? The bestie squad gears up
For the bouquet toss, Ch’ng skipped the “blind throw” and directly named her besties to catch it — including Come Home Love co-stars Carman Kwan and Mandy Ng. The scene was full of laughter as the sister squad went all out for the good luck, pushing the party atmosphere to its peak.
What’s Next: When Is the Hong Kong Wedding?
Although the Kuala Lumpur banquet concluded successfully, it is not the entirety of the couple’s wedding.
Ch’ng and Yeung revealed that because the KL banquet focused on thanking Malaysian relatives, friends and family elders, its flow was relatively traditional and warm. The formal, more entertainment-driven ceremony and grand party will be held later in Hong Kong.
By then, more TVB colleagues, industry friends and fans are expected to join the Hong Kong celebration — undoubtedly exciting news for those who have supported the couple all along. We will continue to follow the latest developments of their Hong Kong wedding and bring you first-hand coverage.
