down the aisle hand in hand with her father and David’s mother was the
marriage officiant.

and gave her congratulatory speech to the newlyweds. In addition,
singer Jam Hsiao gave them his blessings through his song ‘Love’,and the couple sang ‘Marry Me’in a tear-jerking duet.
The
newly-weds met the media before their wedding dinner and Penny wore a
black gown designed by Vera Wang worth NT$240,000 (approximately
S$10,000). David even kissed Penny on the cheek and posed for the
cameras.
The singer
revealed both of them have agreed on trying for a child after his
concert ends this year and David’s mother hopes the couple will bear her
two grandchildren in future.
