Celebrity Weddings: Angela Tong and Chin Kar Lok’s Wedding Ceremony
Angela Tong (湯盈盈) and Chin Kar Lok (錢嘉樂) finally tied the knot on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, after five years of dating. With pandas as their witnesses, Angela and Kar Lok wed in Ocean Park’s Panda Gallery in Hong Kong. Attended by over fifty family members and friends, Angela and Kar Lok’s unique panda wedding ceremony may not be as lavish or extravagant as other celebrity weddings, but it is truly one wedding to never forget.
Angela and Kar Lok is the first Hong Kong couple to wed in Panda Gallery, and Hong Kong’s treasured panda couple, Lok Lok and Ying Ying, is also acting as witnesses for the first time. Although flash photography and shouting are not allowed in the gallery, the romantic and heartwarming atmosphere is clearly felt through the happy couple and their friends and families. Kar Lok later remarked after the ceremony, “(The panda) Ying Ying was very nice, but she did nothing else but eat!”
Chin Kar Lok is known for his joking behavior and laid back personality, and never did the groom look more serious when he recited his wedding vows. Kar Lok stated, “From now on, I will live my life with my companion, and I will hold onto you forever.” When Kar Lok referred to Angela’s parents as mother and father, Angela broke into tears.
After the wedding ceremony ended, the new couple received press interviews at the panda restaurant. Upon the reporters’ request, Angela showed off her 2 carat engagement ring and her rubble wedding ring, revealing that the two rings cost a six-figure sum. Kar Lok laughed, “Those rings were very expensive. Now I have to make more films to compensate the loss!”
Angela is currently several months pregnant. Kar Lok expressed, “This baby has really brought me luck. Recently, I have received several film nominations, a car racing cup, and won two business class tickets in a game! We will have our honeymoon after the baby is born!”
The couple refused to reveal the baby’s sex at the moment to create anticipation for the games that will be held at their wedding banquet. Whoever guesses the correct sex of the baby will be gifted two round trip business-class flight tickets to Thailand.
When asked for the baby’s name, Kar Lok laughed, “I want to name it Chin Jun Jun (Money Come Come)!”
When will the baby be born? Kar Lok said, “Timmy Hung (洪天明) and Janet Chow’s (周家蔚) baby is expected to arrive in January. Angela’s will arrive in March. It would be best if both of them were at around the same time!”
Kar Lok also did not forget to joke about his friends, “I really want to add: Timmy Hung and Janet Chow already married. Annie Man’s (文頌嫻) daughter is born. Sherming Yiu (姚樂怡) is also married. Right now, I’m really worried about Emily Kwan (關寶慧)! All the bachelors here should listen up – please consider!”

Their wedding seemed so sweet. I wish there were more photos of it. Congrats to them on their double happiness!!
HeTieShou,
Did you notice panda Yingying laying on the grass?
When I saw pandas at the zoo, they were constantly chewing on bamboo the entire time I was there too.
Jayne,
I did not notice before so thanks for pointing that out. I was just focused on the newlyweds. Yea, my sister in law showed me a video of when she visited Pandas in Hk and all they did was chew on bamboo most of the time.
I think that was a cute wedding ceremony with pandas around. Very special and cute at the same time.
@Jayne
Janet Chow is not 湯盈盈, she is 周家蔚. typo there …
Christy,
Yep, this happens when the characters remain in the copy board and get pasted accidentally.
what?
article say a 2 carat engagement ring and a “rubble” ring? What’s a “rubble” ring?
ruby?
Anyways, congrats to them. They look so sweet in that picture
Aww…I am so happy for them. Congratulation 😀
And Kar Lok always have to joke. just have to love that man.
Congratulations, Angela and Chin Ka Lok!
They seem like such a genuine couple, I wish them all the happiness!
Their ceremony seems so commercial though..did “Kee Wah” bakery really need to put their logo on the wedding cake topper?!?! So tacky!
Maybe the cake was given to them by the bakery….so you might expect that??? 😛
Yeah, I know..but the logo could have been more discreetly placed, not as part of the cake topper!
Oh well..Im sure their own banquet will be a much more classy affair (hopefully)!
They are sponsoring the wedding cake and souvenirs for guests.
Probably a little tacky, but I don’t think guests or the blissful pair minded.
The cake is so very cute with all the little pandas. I don’t mind the tacky label. It’s look ok.
The panda cupcakes are adorable. Very fun.
It is really sweet that they got married in the panda gallery and the pandas have the same names as them. Perfect match! Congrats to them!
so sweet~~
congrats to 盈盈＆樂樂！
Congrats to Kar Lok & Angela and I love the idea of having the pandas as witnesses because they carry the same names. They’re both extroverts, love their gameshows and really happy for Kar Lok to find true love at his age.
they both look so happy!!! glad chin ka lok finally settle down.
Congratulations to Kar Loke and Ying Ying! They are a cute couple.
A very smart couple valuing substance over monetary extravagance in a very sensible wedding ceremony.
This is good news! I quite like them together as a couple. They are a cute couple and soon will be cute family!
Wishing them happiness forever !
Wedding is cute but wedding dress not great. However they’re not here to show off but to marry on their own terms in an intimate wedding so congrats to them. Bride and groom looks tired though.
She’s pregnant and the dress hides her baby bump. Good enough.
I think the short, tiered baby doll dress looks nice. It matches the young and cute theme they had. Ka lok was wearing sneakers too.
I think the dress is nice too. It’s also very efficient. Since they are having their wedding outdoors, it’s easier to move around with a short dress.
i think this couple is very matching esp their playful character, its such a lovely n sweet wedding
shouldn’t he be worried about Charmaine too? Or does Charmaine have someone already?
Kevin 😉
I wish! Kevin, please make a move!
Charmaine is seeing someone. The group of friends has been dropping hints already. Ka Lok dropped hints during the cooking show (hosted by Nancy Sit & Louis Yuen), TVB edited most part out.
If that’s the case, I’m happy for Charmaine that she’s finally found someone.
Really?? I hope that’s so….she’s in a good place w/everything in her life. Think settlling down is good now….have kids! 🙂
Seems like charmaine is really seeing someone!
