Virginia Lok (TVB's Director of Production Resources) has met Gigi's husband, she praised Mr Ma as a '120 points' good man. Gigi confirmed her marriage to Mr Ma but their wedding date is still a mystery. There were different versions, first it was reported Gigi would marry this month in Australia, then it was rumored she was already registered last December in Europe. Actually they were already married and honeymooned before Lunar New Year. Although Ms Lok who announced Gigi's wedding on her behalf did not disclose her wedding date, but from the photos released to the media, it was discovered that their wedding date was September 2 of last year. Of the four wedding photos, three were taken on the same day, the image files indicate they were taken on September 2, 2008. It appears that after her marriage to Mr Ma, she officially announced on October 20 to the media about her retirement, in order to concentrate on taking care of her brother and his beauty business.

As far as she knows, Gigi's brother Lai Ying did not attend her wedding. Ms Lok disclosed that Gigi did not wear a wedding dress because she has already worn it many times during her filming career. Ms Lok had dinner with Gigi and Mr Ma, Gigi said she is enjoying her life as Mrs Ma, learning to take care of her family, entertaining friends, cooking and decorating her home. Gigi said her family is very important to her, although she misses her TVB colleagues. When asked about her impression of Mr Ma, Ms Lok couldn't stop her praises, she said he is a very good person and a reliable, low-key businessman, a '120 points' good man.

According to sources, Mrs Ma's love nest is mid-level luxury apartment Lan Sum Gok (蘭心閣), worth 70 million dollars, a wedding present to Gigi from Mr Ma.
Already married in September? So she resigned after her marriage. Looks like she is successful in misleading the HK entertainment press and all fans.
At first, I didn't believe this story and it was too so sudden. I'm happy for her, but it's just seem odd.
this is getting really confusing. <_< i thought that he sent a private plane or something so that gigi's brother could attend their wedding in australia? -what?
wooo.. so fast.... how come gigi's bro din attend her wedding.. i thought mr.ma would send him a private jet to bring him over.. hmm
awww her purple dress looks a bit like a toga....pretty~~! but yah im a bit confused as well...-unsure
These marriages occurs through out the history of time. The older, richer men always marry a celebrity. She is probably faking it, like most. I don't believe in these and I don't really care about GIGI.
