She went away a 'happy girl' and came back an even happier woman. It is quite obvious that marriage agrees with Canto-pop singer Sally Yeh Chen-ven, who tied the knot with singer George Lam Chi-cheung in Canada in July.
The silver wedding band fits snugly on to her finger but it is the air of radiance that gives her away. Ask her if she wants to be called Ms Yeh or Mrs Lam, and she blushes like an adolescent schoolgirl.
'I can't decide. I think either is fine.
'I still can't get used to calling myself Mrs Lam, I don't know . . .,' she confesses with an embarrassed laugh. 'Ms Yeh doesn't sound quite right now, does it? I suppose either Sally or Mrs Lam.' When asked about her more reclusive husband by a group of reporters earlier, she protested good-naturedly about 'all that attention' focused on him.
'I am newsworthy too, you know,' she smiles. Yet, it is obvious that she enjoys talking about him and their new life together - gossip and rumours aside - as much as the media relish asking her.
But mention some gossip about her husband, and the new Mrs Lam springs to his defence rather ferociously. 'They just write the most absurd things,' she huffs. 'If they wrote about me, I wouldn't be that angry, but it's not good to make up things about him!' After being an independent woman for so long, the 35-year-old has been revelling in giving up some of that independence. 'Everything is not just 'me, me, me' any more.
'For so many years, it's been what I have wanted to do. Now all my opinions have to be shared and I have to respect that what I feel is no longer what I feel but what we feel,' says Yeh.
