Actress Shu Qi and actor-director Stephen Fung suddenly announced their marriage last Saturday, which stunned their fans and celebrity friends.
Shu, 40, and Fung, 42, tied the knot in Prague, where he is directing her in "The Adventurers," a treasure hunt movie also starring Jean Reno and Andy Lau.
The couple released a somewhat playful statement: "Hmm yes, our marriage is so simple. Hmm yes, our dresses are so casual. Hmm yes, our decision is so sudden. Hmm yes we will not hold a wedding banquet and other celebrations. Hmm yes, we've known each other for 20 years and been in love for four years. Hmm yes, I've married her without reservation. Hmm yes, we've decided to become entangled for life. Hmm yes, we have married."
They thanked their fans, adding: "You can miss anything, but don't miss out on the one who loves you."
The statement also added a special "P.S.": "Currently, not pregnant."

It was reported that the marriage ceremony was very short. Fung and Shu were recently shooting the film "The Adventurers," when they did a scene before Prague Castle, Fung was thrilled by the beautiful scene and instantly proposed and was accepted.
Shu also released a set of wedding photos, which were shot by Taiwan's legendary photographer Joshua Lin. As shown in the photos, Shu's H&M wedding dress was actually sent by the retailer two years ago.
Lin revealed yesterday in an interview that Shu called him in last month to ask him to go to Prague for a bridal photoshoot. " I just thought this was her joke, but it turned out to be true."
He said Shu demanded a "natural, simple but not deliberate" style for the photographs; even the roses at the ceremony were bought that day along the way. They finished the photoshoot in just three hours.
The news of their marriage was enveloped in tight secrecy and was so sudden that it surprised fans and even their celebrity friends. Actor Shawn Yue, a friend of both, said on his microblog; "Even I just got to know it by checking the news, I'm so unhappy. But anyway, congratulations and I send my best wishes to you."
Andy Lau, also a producer of their new film, said the entire crew had no inkling of the marriage in advance.
Shu is one of top actresses in China, starring in more than 200 films, including the critically-acclaimed and award-winning "The Assassin" by Hou Hsiao-hsien.
Shu was previously romantically involved with Hong Kong superstar Leon Lai, actor Chang Chen and had rumored romance with others such as actor Daniel Wu and singer Leehom Wang. However, she never settled into a relationship until she and Fung met on the set of the romantic drama "Bishonen" in 1997.
Fung also had a nine-year romance with singer-actress Karen Mok, which ended in 2007.
