Comedy? Joke? Live Show?

After Vivian Chow and Joe Nieh announced their breakup, Joe Nieh recently accepted an interview and was in tears, even comparing himself to "Nude Photo Scandal"'s main lead, Edison Chen. Just when the audience and the media have lost hope in their relationship, they made a surprising move, even more surprising than Joe Nieh's kissing photos that were released 10 days before.

According to Hong Kong's TVB Channel's news report yesterday afternoon, Joe Nieh sent the media an email once again, confirming the news on his marriage to Vivian Chow. Joe's email's subject was labelled "囍final" ("Double Happiness Final") and announced that he and Vivian had registered for marriage. Yesterday, a Hong Kong reporter waited outside of Joe's residence, Sunlight Villas. Until 5 pm in the afternoon, the reporter saw Joe driving a priest out of his.....and driving to Vivian Chow at Tsing Yi Mayfair Garden. There were reporters snapping shots of them and Joe Nieh was full of smiles. A reporter asked if he was confessing to the priest and if he knew Zhang Mao for a very long time and if he and Zhang Mao had planned to dump Vivian Chow? No matter what the reporter asked, he never answered but let the reporter take pictures.

Yesterday, after Joe's announcement, Vivian Chow's website also posted a message that had the subject of "囍" (Double Happiness), following a heart symbol and the announcement was the message that Joe had sent.Vivian's manager, Mr. Chan, expressed that it wasn't until yesterday morning that he knew of the situation. Being asked of the marriage's date, Mr.Chan wasn't sure; the two were still in the process of registering for the marriage registration. According to another media report, the two registered for marriage already and the date was set to be the 26th of this month. But according to the law, if Joe Nieh had only registered with Vivian today, then getting married on the 26th would be illegal.

According to the law, 15 days after registering for marriage, and if no one had brought up any objections, then they could hold their marriage ceremony. This would mean, if Joe and Vivian registered for marriage on the 18th, then the earliest they could hold their marriage would have to be on January 3rd of next year.
Regarding some netizens suspecting that their marriage report was a hoax, Mr. Chan thought this was ridiculous: "Marriage is a very big and important thing, who would use this as a joke?" When asked if Vivian would be coming back to the entertainment business next year, Mr. Chan answered "She never retired, how could she come back?"

Since the kissing situation was revealed, Zhang Mao became the hottest search on the internet overnight and even gained the nickname of "史上最牛小三" (History's Best Third Party). Yesterday, a netizien posted, Zhang Mao, the History's Best "Third Party" became the "History's Best Matchmaker", accidentally forming Vivian and Joe's marriage. Like Joe's newest announcement said, "After fooling around, then I knew to become more serious; losing the past, then you would learn to treasure." After a big "storm", this let them understand their love even more. The pressure, is something that we can both feel our inseparable. A trial, became confidence...." Perhaps if Zhang Mao didn't appear, Joe wouldn't have been able to persuade Vivian, who was insistent on not marrying, to enter the marriage stage.

On December 8th, Joe Nieh and Zhang Mao's kiss at the bar was revealed by the HK media, and on the 11th, Joe and his girlfriend of 19 years, Vivian Chow announced their breakup. Yesterday, Joe suddenly announced marriage, and Vivian Chow's website also confirmed their marriage announcemnt. In 10 days, their relationship had covered up Annie Yi Neng Jing's cheating situation. It was like a full on Hong Kong drama. Yesterday, the papparazzi took action and swarm around Vivian's house and more than 3 million netizens were searching up on their relationship. A lot of netizens said, Edison Chen's title of being "low" had been stolen by Joe already. Even if Joe can get married to Vivian like said, their marriage can only be on the 3rd of January next year by the earliest.

A sensational event in the entertainment business is currently in action.

Joe Nieh's annoucement of their marriage:

"After wandering, then I knew to be firm; after losing, then I learned to treasure.
After a big storm, it let us understand our love; the pressure, is something that we can both feel our inseparable.

A trial, became confidence. Vivian agrred to marry me, we have registered for marriage.

Please give us your blessings.

Joe Nieh"
