Singer and actress Karen Mok walked down the aisle in a fairy tale wedding – in the idyllic pastoral countryside of Florence, Italy, no less – to her German sweetheart, Johannes, wearing enchanting creations from De Beers Diamond Jewellers.
The sequence of events which led to the wedding was equally heartwarming: the 41 year old Karen recently won the Best Mandarin Singer Award at the 2011 Golden Melody Awards in Taipei, where she publcly announced her engagement and marriage to Johannes, whom she met when she was just 17 years old.
The private wedding took place in Il Borro, a quaint village in the heart of Tuscany, a town filled with much history and romance: it was, after all, the background to Leonardo Da Vinci’s iconic painting, the Mona Lisa.
For the ceremony, which was witnessed by 100 close friends and family, Karen Mok walked down the aisle in a lovely cream gown, accessorized with the most ethereal and exquisite pieces from the De Beers Wildflowers High Jewellery collection.
