Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chi-Ling, 44, and Japanese actor-singer Akira of J-pop group Exile, 38, are set to have a wedding on November 17, and more details have emerged.

According to Taiwanese media (via Jaynestars), the pair are planning on an intimate wedding in Tainan Art Museum (which has two buildings) located in the West Central District of Tainan. Chi-ling, who reportedly chose the venue (Building 1 of the museum) herself, was drawn to the classic elegance, sophisticated interiors and especially its open-air atrium. According to the source, she’s always wanted a traditional and classic wedding. 

Previously, the couple had announced that about 100 guests will be in attendance, and the space, which can accommodate a maximum of 12 tables, just about fits the bill.

I am excited to announce that on June 6th, I married Lin Chi-ling, the famous actress, with whom I have had a long-standing friendship. Ever since sharing the stage with her on “Red Cliff -Love-” eight years ago, we developed a friendship and just last year, it evolved into something more. I felt strongly that I want her to be my partner in life as we see our true selves in each other. No matter how busy she may be, she always puts her family, friends and fans before herself and constantly strives to provide love and courage to many people across Asia, always staying true to her roots. I was strongly attracted to her sense of responsibility and caring nature. With a smile, she always accepts me for who I am, and I constantly feel nothing but appreciation for her kindness. It pushes me to be better and I truly want to make her happy. I am in no way accomplished and I still have many things to learn, but because I cherish this bond with her and her family, I will continue down my path as an artist with a higher sense of self-awareness and responsibility, while not forgetting to appreciate everything that you all have given me. I will not forget where I came from, and will work harder, in order to give back to all the people who have always supported me. Sincerely, EXILE AKIRA
