Hong Kong actress and singer Kelly Chen, who will marry her long time boyfriend Alex in October, has appeared in a wedding-themed commercial, experiencing in advance the excitement of being a bride.

Draped in snow white bridal veils and flamboyant red Chinese wedding gowns, the star says the commercial has given her a lot of inspiration as to which style of wedding dress and jewelry she would prefer at her own wedding.

Preparation for the star's wedding is in full swing, reports the Guangzhou-based Information Times.

Kelly Chen's long term friends, art director Chung-Man Hai and film director Jinhe Lin, will be the couple's marriage witnesses, the newspaper said.
