  "account": "In Macau on September 28, Mario Ho, the son of late Macau casino tycoon Stanley Ho, hosted a traditional Chinese tea ceremony with his wife, Chinese supermodel Ming Xi. The event was attended by their two young children. Mario, 31, and Ming, 37, first met in 2017 on the Chinese reality dating show Mr. Left Mr. Right. In May 2019, Mario proposed to Ming with a lavish Super Mario-themed display featuring 99,999 roses in Shanghai. They married two months later.\n\nFor the recent tea ceremony, Ming wore a stunning, hand-crafted Chinese wedding gown that took approximately 3,600 hours to create. Mario's mother, Angela Leong On Kei, presented her daughter-in-law with a total of 22 gold bangles, valued at nearly HK$3.51 million (about RM1.8 million). Additionally, Angela gifted Ming a sentimental pearl necklace that was originally given to her by her late husband, Stanley Ho. Ming shared two photos from the special day on Instagram Stories to commemorate the occasion.",
