SHANGHAI - Actors Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy tied the knot on Thursday night at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, against a fairytale backdrop with a castle theme. It was the wedding of the year for China's entertainment circle.

The lovebirds kissed and exchanged vows and rings and had a teary embrace in front of more than 600 guests, including stars such as Shu Qi, Chiling Lin and Dee Hsu from Taiwan, film-makers John Woo and Andrew Lau from Hong Kong and Chinese celebrities including Vicki Zhao and Hu Jun.

Huang chose the castle theme to fulfil his bride's childhood dream of becoming a princess.

Pink and white roses filled the domed hall and decorated a waterworks feature, United Daily News reported.

An "ah" logo, representing the couple's names, was seen everywhere, from the facade of the exhibition centre to the cookies on dessert trays.

Angelababy, in a Dior customised gown, walked down a red-carpeted runway on the arm of her father, as a children's choir sang Justin Bieber's Baby.
