After hearing the question 6 times, at last she said yes
Yu Lau was smitten when he met Fannie Cheung and proposed to her every night till she agreed
They had only been dating for three days when Yu Lau asked Fannie Cheung to marry him. Thinking he was joking, Fannie ignored him. So Yu persisted. For the next several days, he asked again every night.
"I think it was after the fifth or sixth time that I said yes, thinking that he couldn't be serious," Fannie said. "But he cried the moment I said yes. So I was like, uh-oh!"
Public relations officer Fannie and Yu, a chef, tied the knot on November 10. They are planning to hold a banquet next June to celebrate their marriage with friends and relatives.
Three months after Yu popped the question - without offering a ring - he took Fannie and her family to Po Toi O in Sai Kung for a seafood dinner to celebrate her birthday. He gave her mother a handbag as a gift to thank her for bringing Fannie into the world.
After Yu drove the family home, and had Fannie to himself, he took out a ring and potted flowers (he knew Fannie found bouquets more wasteful than romantic). Then, still in the car, Yu asked Fannie again to marry him, this time in all earnestness.
In a case of bad timing, a security guard, suspicious that they had been parked outside the building too long, knocked on the window. "It was hilarious," Fannie said. "I didn't think too much but took the ring and put it on."
"I took that as a yes," Yu said.
