<p>Chinese model <strong>Ming Xi</strong> and Boston Celtics co-owner <strong>Mario Ho</strong> tied the knot on June 1, 2026, and it&#x27;s one of the most breathtaking weddings we&#x27;ve ever seen! </p><p>The couple, who got engaged in 2019, marked their long-awaited union with a wedding that was nothing short of spectacular. Held at <strong>Mont-Saint-Michel</strong>, <strong></strong>a breathtaking medieval tidal island and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Normandy, France, Ming Xi and Mario Ho&#x27;s wedding was every inch a fairytale dream come true. </p><p>“It was the first time that a wedding had taken place at Mont Saint Michel’s abbey,” Ming told <em>Vogue</em>, adding that securing the location was a process that took a year, considering all the approvals needed to hold an event that had never been done before. The couple worked with wedding planning team <strong>The Wedding Company Hong Kong by Michele Li</strong>, who shared that Ming and Mario made history in this 12th-century abbey, as it was &quot;the first wedding at Mont-Saint-Michel in over 1,000 years.&quot;<br id="isPasted"/><br/></p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780716121715ming xi and mario weddinbg 1.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780716261131ming xi and mario wedding 2.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780716501295👰_♀️🤍🤵_♂️ (2).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Revealing more about the process of putting this wedding together, the Wedding Company Hong Kong shared, &quot;Over 25,000 stems loaded across two nights. A global vendor team coordinated across two countries and two historic venues. Hundreds of hours of logistics, timing, and precision, so that on the day itself, none of it showed. An absolute honour to bring this once-in-a-millennium celebration to life.&quot; </p><p>The abbey was dressed up<strong> Kiana Underwood</strong> of <strong>Tulipina Design</strong>, who softened the architectural richness of the historic venue with pink blooms all around. On Instagram, Kiana wrote about being the first florist ever to bring beauty to Le Mont Saint Michel, expressing gratitude to Ming and Mario for choosing her and for giving her the freedom to bring her artistry to their wedding.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780717001497👰_♀️🤍🤵_♂️ (1).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721226237ming xi and mario wedding 3.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721239234ming xi and mario wedding 4.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721260437ming xi and mario wedding 6.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Ming wore a custom haute couture wedding gown by <strong>Dior</strong>. Their photographer,<strong> Jose Villa</strong>, shared the story behind the classic minimalist off-shoulder gown, writing, &quot;From the very beginning of her wedding planning journey, she knew one of her first appointments had to be with the storied French fashion house, long one of her favorites. During her initial fitting, fate intervened: <strong>Jonathan Anderson</strong> was in the atelier developing his inaugural haute couture collection for Dior. Among the designs was a striking floral gown inspired by the ceramic works of Magdalene Odundo. Drawn to its artistry, Ming collaborated with the Couture Atelier to reinterpret the motif for her wedding day, transforming it into an elegant open-back gown.&quot; </p><p>“We decided to incorporate that beautiful detail into my wedding dress and transformed it into an open-back gown,” Ming shared of the bespoke masterpiece.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721438657ming xi wedding gown 1.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721509638ming xi wedding gown 2.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721531701717377813_18591580741063977_258537966134471168_n.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721595881For her wedding to entrepreneur Mario Ho @momomarioho , model Ming Xi @mingxi11 chose a custom h (1).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>A post-ceremony cocktail reception was held in <strong>The Cloister</strong> at Mont Saint-Michel, a 13th-century Gothic courtyard suspended at the summit of the abbey.</p><p>The guests then headed to <strong>Deauville&#x27;s Les Franciscaines</strong>, a historic cultural center that used to be a convent and was later entirely restored to house a museum, auditorium, and media library. </p><p>For the reception, the bride changed into a strapless dress with pearl accents from <strong>Chanel</strong>&#x27;s 1989 archive, capping the night off in a<strong></strong> lace mini-dress by <strong>Givenchy </strong>from<strong> Sarah Burton</strong>&#x27;s spring 2026 collection<strong></strong> for the after-party<strong></strong>.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780721920688For her wedding to entrepreneur Mario Ho @momomarioho , model Ming Xi @mingxi11 chose a custom h (5).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780727239311party time🤍.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780727262592party time🤍 (1).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780727341833party time🤍 (3).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780727564932party time🤍 (4).jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Photos by <strong>Jose Villa </strong>via <strong>@mingxi11</strong></p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div>
