Louisa So to Get Married Next Year
The next celebrity couple to tie the knot may be Louisa So (蘇玉華) and theater actor Poon Chan Leung (潘燦良).
Setting their wedding early next year, Louisa was seen real estate shopping earlier to prepare for their love nest. However, the couple finally decided to revamp their current home in Sai Kung by adding a rooftop garden for use after their wedding.
According to a source close to Louisa, in the couple’s 20 years of dating, Chan Leung had proposed to Louisa nearly 10 times, only to have been rejected by her each time. As Louisa did not particularly believe in marriage, and viewed marriage as a mere formality given that the couple had already been cohabiting for many years, she had always been hesitant in accepting Chan Leung’s proposal.
She expressed, “In terms of our feelings for each other, it is clear to both of us that we are each other’s life partner. It’s just that everyone else is very concerned about our marital status. We’re actually pretty easy-going by nature, and I don’t rule out the possibility of us doing something spontaneous one day. At the end of the day, we’re on the same page when it comes to our future together.”
On Christmas 2013, Chan Leung finally successfully proposed to Louisa in Japan. She laughed and recounted how Chan Leung was so happy he started jumping in joy. Louisa added that while she loved children, the two did not yet have plans to become parents yet. She said, “I love children and get along well with them, but I don’t think I’m a very motherly person, or that I necessarily need to become a mother. There are many different forms of love, and it doesn’t always have to involve a biological relationship. There are many different channels by which I can express love. For instance, I would prefer to express my love for children by adopting a little girl from Cambodia or giving assistance to the charitable organizations that look after under-privileged children.”

So happy for this couple. Many congratulations to them, and one more extra congratulation for Poon Chan Leung for finally succeeding in his proposal. 😀
” It’s just that everyone else is very concerned about our marital status. “
That ‘everyone else’ also includes Poon himself or he wouldn’t have proposed 10 times.
Lucky for Louisa to meet a man who loves her so much. I mean, how many man will proposed 10 times to the same woman?
@kidd ” I mean, how many man will proposed 10 times to the same woman?”
Probably have stroll, stop asks Marry me? and then going from one room to another stop and ask will you now marry me?
etc etc
Good for her to make him a decent man eh? Give him the craved lawful title as her husband!!
20 years is a long time. Congrats.
As for having children, adopting a child is the same as giving birth to own child. So if she is not keen on having her own biological children, perhaps she must reexamine whether she is keen to have other people’s children as her own.
@funnlim
I agree with you. If she feels that she’s not very motherly, she should think twice before bringing a child home. An adopted child need as much motherly care and love as a biological child.
Because of the lack of biological link, an adopted mother might not be as patient to the child as if the child is her flesh and blood. So, she must really evaluate whether she can give the child unconditional love or not. If the girl come with baggage from her previous life (life in Cambodia), will she be able to cope?
@kidd Totally agree. Having a biological child is a bond between her and her husband. It is much valuable than an adopted child. If she cannot cope of being a mother of her own child, don’t bother to adopt one because she will never be able to love the adopted child whole-heartedly. Her adopted child would need all the love from her as a mother.
awww that is so sweet! im so glad louisa said yes! congratulations to them!
