One of the most talked about celebrity weddings of the year took place on June 2 when Victoria’s Secret model Ming Xi and entrepreneur Mario Ho officially celebrated their wedding in a lavish ceremony in France.
The wedding, themed “A Promise Punctually Kept,” marked a new chapter for the couple, who legally married in 2019 and have since built a family with two children.
The ceremony, held at the iconic Mont-Saint-Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, quickly became one of the most talked about events on Chinese social media.
According to photos circulating online, the venue has been transformed into a luxurious floral wonderland, filled with fresh, colorful floral arrangements and elegant decorations befitting one of China’s most prominent billionaire families.
Ming Xi walked down the aisle in a minimalist white wedding dress paired with sparkling diamond jewelry and a classic updo topped with a long veil. The understated yet sophisticated look perfectly balanced the elegance expected from the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, while maintaining the confidence and charisma that has made her one of China’s top supermodels.
Mario Ho, meanwhile, looked dapper in a black suit accented with a white bow tie.
During the exchange of wedding vows, Ming Xi became visibly emotional and reportedly struggled to hold back tears, creating one of the most touching moments of the ceremony.
The newlyweds openly showed their affection throughout the ceremony, exchanging passionate kisses in front of family, friends and guests.
To add to the emotional atmosphere, the couple’s two children attended the wedding as junior assistants.
Photos showing the family together quickly went viral, with many netizens describing the images as “better than a movie scene.”
The exclusivity of the wedding extended beyond the venue and decor.
Photos from the celebration revealed a guest list featuring some of China’s most influential and wealthy figures, including Olympic skiing star Eileen Gu, heiress Tse Yin-rung and socialite Lin Xinni.
Meanwhile, prominent figures who were unable to attend in person still sent congratulatory messages, including Zhang Zetian, wife of JD.com founder Liu Qiangdong, and Mario Ho’s half-sister Laurinda Ho.
Before the wedding ceremony, the couple hosted an intimate pre-wedding dinner for close friends and family.
The event made headlines after Ming Xi appeared wearing a striking high jewelry collection from Graff.
Her jewelry reportedly included: 30.73-carat diamond earrings, 66.26-carat diamond bracelet, and 7.1-carat oval diamond ring.
Together, the diamonds totaled about 103.7 carats and were worth about 49 million yuan (about $6.8 million), according to Chinese media estimates.
The supermodel completed the look with a custom ice blue haute couture gown and luxe accessories by Dior.
The love story between Ming Xi and Mario Ho has fascinated audiences for years.
The couple married in July 2019 following a highly publicized proposal with 99,999 roses. They have since welcomed a son and a daughter.
Mario Ho, son of businesswoman Angela Leong and late casino tycoon Stanley Ho, is widely known for his academic achievements. He excelled in math competitions, received offers from both Oxford University and MIT, and eventually graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before returning to Asia to pursue his business career.
After seven years of marriage, two children, and countless public appearances together, the couple’s long-awaited wedding celebration has become one of the most extravagant celebrity events of 2026.
