Kenneth Fok Kai-kong, a grandson of late billionaire Henry Fok Ying-tung, will next week marry his sweetheart, China's diving queen Guo Jingjing.

The couple have been under intense media scrutiny over the past few days after news leaked about a planned HK$15 million extravaganza.

Now it is official: the wedding banquets will held over two days, in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The first will take place on November 10 at Nansha Grand Hotel - Nansha is the Foks' hometown - and at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai a day later.

Trimaran, a public relations firm co-founded by celebrity businesswoman Pansy Ho Chiu-king, which is handling media inquiries about the banquets, was tight-lipped when asked for further details yesterday.

"The couple would like to give their guests a surprise," a Trimaran agent said.

The guest list will read like a who's who of the sporting, business, entertainment and political circles. Earlier reports said the formal wedding would be held on Thursday at the Fok family's mansion in Pok Fu Lam.
