SINGAPORE: The highly anticipated wedding between Singapore's celebrity couple Christopher Lee and Fann Wong is still in the works, but their upcoming on-screen wedding already promises to be a grand affair.
The MediaCorp sweethearts will be donning not just one, but several wedding costumes of different ethnic flair in the upcoming romantic comedy "Wedding of the Year".
Fann said: "(We will be wearing) a few multi-racial costumes. It's going to be very local. There will be Chinese... Indian... for sure all the Singapore bride looks will be in the movie."
Slated to open early next year, the movie stars Christopher and Fann as two celebrated artistes who cook up a big media storm with their very publicized wedding, much to the delight of fans and the paparazzi. But underneath all the hype, it is really just a publicity stunt to boost their careers.
Without revealing names, Fann admitted she has heard of such scandals in the entertainment circle, but said the celebrities probably did not know what they really wanted.
Despite playing a pair of scoundrels on screen, Christopher and Fann are very much a real couple and all eyes are on their actual wedding, scheduled sometime late next year.
But will it be as grand an affair as their on-screen union?
"It will be very, very grand," said Fann jokingly. She added: "We don't know, but we're trying to make it a fun party."
"It's a romantic wedding," said Christopher solemnly.
"Oh yay! I'm so lucky," quipped Fann.
Co-produced by MediaCorp Raintree Pictures and Scorpio East Pictures, "Wedding of the Year" is slated to open in Singapore during Lunar New Year in 2009.
