Here we have the photos from Selby Abbey, in what many in Taiwan have proclaimed as the wedding of the century. The wedding's theme color is pink, but the most striking image may be the heart-shaped design in a symbol for love on the back of the beautiful bride's exquisite gown.
As Hannah's father handed Hannah to Jay in the ceremonial change of hands, the lovebirds marched towards the altar to a new score composed by Jay and performed by a 20-member chamber orchestra. Many guests cried at the touching ceremony, especially when they said "I do" to each other.
Here is the beautiful wedding in a video that was made under Jay's direction. Is there anything this man can't do?

Jan 18, 2015 - Jay Chou Hannah Quinlivan Wedding. Source: Jay Chou's Facebook page. The wedding ... A 2-minute long wedding video has been released!
Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan tie the knot at 900-year-old
Selby Abbey in England.
Selby Abbey, founded in 1069 and built by the de Lacy family, was closed to the public for two days over the weekend. Its website states the cost of the ceremony is £445 (HK$5,000) with the option of adding extras, such as an organist for another £118.
Rules governing weddings are strict in the UK. The Selby Abbey website states that a number of criteria must be fulfilled, with most requiring one half of a couple to have lived in the parish for a fixed period of time. If a couple has no connection to the Abbey or its surrounds, then a couple can opt for a blessing at the Abbey, as it is not covered by the UK’s Marriage Law – but the ceremony itself must take place elsewhere.
The service on Sunday attracted about 50 friends and family, according to reports, with guests reportedly told in advance only that they should go to London and be prepared to take a connecting flight
The venues of the wedding and the party, Selby Abbey and
Castle Howard in Yorkshire, became popular attractions
overnight, said the report. Fans in England said all the
information leaflets at the castle were snapped up yesterday.
And yet Chou kept the event fairly low-key and paparazzi-free.

Exquisite. His beautiful 2007 romantic movie Secret is on Instant Netflix. I suggest everybody run to see it. It's magnificent. I always tell people that it's the last movie I want to watch again before I croak and leave this world.
(this is a comment from a fan, not me ah)
Romantic photos from a European photo shoot for the wedding were also released to show the lovebirds in breathtaking locations in Paris, Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle, and Prague.
After the wedding, the happy couple and all the guests went to the nearby Castle Howard to enjoy a banquet. The entire event went off without a hitch. The couple have reportedly set a goal to have a baby for the Chinese Year of Sheep (2015). Jay will stay in England to film his new movie and will hold a wedding banquet when he returns to Taiwan in March.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
By the way, I'm avoiding talking about the cost of the wedding. Jay Chou started out as a struggling musician, and many singers actually rejected the songs he composed, saying they were strange. He eventually made his own album, titled Jay, and became famous. So I think he deserves to spend however much he wants on his one and only wedding.

Mandopop King Jay Chou has dated many women, including Jolin Tsai and Patty Hou, but it was Taiwanese-Australian model Hannah Quinlivan who walked down the aisle with him in Yorkshire, northern England, on Saturday.
While Chou only officially acknowledged their relationship late last year, he and the 21-year-old had been dating for four years.
1. How it began
Chou has not talked about how he met Quinlivan, but his good friend, choreographer Ice Cream, took credit for introducing them to each other. He said that Quinlivan came across as guileless when they first met.
Separately, a report on NetEase last year said that Quinlivan, then a starlet, met Chou when she was working part-time at a fashion store, Phantaci, part-owned by Jay Chou.
That report also said a good friend introduced them because she was a pure girl. They got closer because Chou encouraged her to learn the piano, the report said.
Although he is 14 years older than Quinlivan
, "my mental age is about the same as hers and we just get along like children", he said -
"comfortable to look at, pure and without cunning",
he said. He and Quinlivan got together to go for karaoke and dinner, and Chou met her at one such gathering
and obedience - a test all his girlfriends have had to pass -
she has also been known to decline work to spend time with
him.
Jay Chou has been dubbed the "New King of Asian Pop"
Chou, who is often credited for breathing new life into the Mandarin music scene with his blend of traditional Chinese instrument sounds with hip hop and R and B, is also a successful actor and director.
He directed and starred in the 2007 romance Secret, which became a huge box office success.
Hollywood came knocking when Chou was cast as Kato in the superhero film The Green Hornet alongside Seth Rogen.

LIFE AS MRS JAY CHOU
The fairy-tale wedding at Selby Abbey, in Selby, North Yorkshire, northern England, has ended.
The fondant-covered cake and frosted cookies - some decorated with Jay Chou and his bride Hannah Quinlivan's silhouettes and others with the couple's initials - have been munched on by guests at an English afternoon tea.
The fireworks, which were let off into a lakeside sky at the couple's wedding bash at Castle Howard near York, North Yorkshire, have long cooled.
And soon enough, Taiwanese-Australian model Quinlivan, 21, will return to Taipei as Mrs Jay Chou and come back down to earth in her new roles as a wife and a daughter-in-law.
For starters, she might have to help her mother- in-law, who does not have a maid, with household chores in the family's luxury home, says Taiwan's Next Magazine.
Taiwanese pop king Chou, 36, famously wrote Listen To Mama, a 2006 song about how he owes his success to his mother's insistence, when he was a schoolboy, that he had to keep up piano practice. In interviews in recent months - before the wedding on Jan 17 - he said he and Quinlivan would live with his mother, art teacher Yeh Hui- mei, who is divorced from his father, science teacher Chou Yao- chung.
In the report in Next Magazine last Thursday, Yeh was called a capable woman by her neighbours. Even though her son has a reported net worth of NT$5 billion (S$212 million) and she holds the purse strings in the family - he has said he does not use credit and debit cards and gets money from her when he needs to use it - she has never been known to employ domestic workers.
Because she wishes to protect her superstar son's privacy, she still shops for groceries, cooks for him and cleans the house by herself, said the report.
But now she can teach her daughter-in-law to do some of her chores, and she has somebody to keep her company and go to church with her when her son is away.
Quinlivan has said she will stay in show business after marriage. The model is a spokesman for Breeze Center, an upmarket Taiwanese mall opened by hotel tycoon Paul Liao and his family. It has been said that she got the job in 2010 because the Quinlivans and the Liaos are neighbours in Australia, reported China Times Weekly.
But Chou has said he wants five children - soon - and what he wants in his relationship with Quinlivan, he appears to always get.
When you take a long, hard look at his girlfriends, a type emerges. Singer Jolin Tsai, 34, television host Patty Hou, 37, and Quinlivan are doll-like, obedient- looking and have a whiff of foreignness. Tsai graduated in English from Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan. Hou was educated in the United States.
Quinlivan has an Australian father and a Korean-Taiwanese mother. Furthermore, she is the youngest of Chou's girlfriends and has achieved the least in her career. It may be why she has had the most successful relationship with him.
She was not yet 17 when she met him around 2010, apparently after she got a job at Phantaci, a streetwear shop he invested in. At the time, she had dropped out of the variety show Blackie's Teenage Club because her family was against it.
Last year, Chou's dance teacher Snow (he is better known as Ice Cream in Mandarin) told reporters he had played a part in introducing the couple to each other.
Snow had met Quinlivan through friends' friends and found her "comfortable to look at, pure and without cunning", he said. He and Quinlivan got together to go for karaoke and dinner, and Chou met her at one such gathering.
Chou has said that though it was not love at first sight, he immediately appreciated her qualities.
In July 2010, he cast her in the music video of How Are You, a song for his 2011 album Exclamation Point, said Next Magazine. But when rumours of their romance surfaced after her 18th birthday in August 2011 - he was photographed with his arm around her on a ferry in Marseilles, France - he cut her out of the video, changed the lead to model Chloe Wu and told Quinlivan not to talk to reporters.
Quinlivan did as she was told, and in their four years together, she has made him the centre of her life, said the report.
Not only has she won his mother's heart with her politeness and obedience - a test all his girlfriends have had to pass - she has also been known to decline work to spend time with him.
He suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, a form of spinal arthritis that has exempted him from military service. When he has a painful attack, it is Quinlivan who feeds him congee, mouthful by mouthful, said Next Magazine.
In recent interviews for his new album Aiyo, Not Bad, he said he first had the idea of marrying her during an attack of spondylitis. In one of his most vulnerable moments, he thought of how she had stayed at his side quietly and was suddenly immensely touched.
He also appreciated how they get along like two children and rarely argue.
He has been with her for four years, longer than his past relationships, he noted.
"Longevity is something special. It's more solid than a whirlwind marriage," he was quoted as saying by China Times. "Being with me is more tiring. It's hard being her and she's persisted for so long."
Well, being Mrs Jay Chou is a tough job, but someone has to do it.
