Chou, who had his own wedding music played, explained that he wrote the song himself "to make the wedding different."

"Chou seemed a little bit nervous. He was busy and happy," Chou's agent, Yang Chun-jung said. "Although it took a long time for the rehearsal, he was very satisfied with the orchestra."

"The wedding was super-romantic," Yang said.

Chou's wife has a Taiwanese mother and an Australian father.
