濱崎步元旦賭城註冊
讚老公天使
【明報專訊】濱崎步於1月1日凌晨突然宣布下嫁奧地利籍男友Manuel Schwarz後，雖然經理人公司指她月中才會在日本正式註冊結婚，但原來完成除夕演出後，元旦當日他倆即 飛往美國賭城拉斯維加斯，抵達當地因時差關係，仍然是1月1日，並於黃昏註冊及行禮，儀式只有其親密好友及 工作拍檔出席。

濱崎步與Manuel Schwarz行完禮後，昨天下午在網站向歌迷表示，前一天已在拉斯維加斯的一間小教堂舉行婚禮，正式成為 人妻，並上載了一張兩人對望，亮出婚戒的恩愛照片，她更以上月推出的新碟Love Song中的歌曲Last Angel形容老公，「我相信大家都知道了，我的丈夫是Mannie，他是我的Last Angel。今後我仍會繼續做原來的我，亦希望大家保持原有的自己。」

昨天步姐向好友表示，除夕與老公在一起，Manuel的twitter跟隨者人數更已突破一萬人。步姐預定 明天返回日本，但會否與丈夫同行仍屬未知之數。雖然事務所否認步姐懷孕，但不少歌迷都懷疑她與丈夫「搞出人 命」才突然結婚。

舊愛長瀨聞婚訊演出失準

另一邊廂，之前曾與步姐傳出緋聞的韓國JYJ成員Hero昨天獲悉好友的婚訊後，立即在twitter上恭 喜她，還表示稍後要跟她通電話詳談。至於步姐的舊愛長瀨智也在除夕當晚出席所屬的尊尼事務所倒數演唱會，有 觀眾指他表現失準，一向在演唱會中情緒高漲的他當晚一反常態，說話時更多次「甩嘴」，有人認為雖然他與步姐 已分手多年，但始終在一起超過7年，聽到舊愛的婚訊，心情或多或少都會受到影響。

步姐與老公磨鼻晒婚戒
[2011-01-04] Share

日本天后濱崎步今年元旦宣布嫁給奧地利奀星老公Manuel Schwarz後，消息震撼當地藝能界，昨日《SANSPO》報章網站就刊出一張他們的「親密照」，見到M anuel橫坐在沙發上，雙手擁着步姐，步姐則整個人靠在老公身上，雖然當時在室內，但步姐仍架着墨鏡，她 戴上婚戒的左手更撫着老公的手，右手則摸老公的頸，兩夫婦更磨鼻大晒恩愛。
據知，現時步姐與Manuel仍在美國度假兼度蜜月，尚未定歸期，消息指，步姐原來在美國時間1日上午到埗 ，傍晚6時左右在當地遞交婚姻申請書，7時便到教會行禮。未知是否他們拍訂情MV時已穿過結婚禮服，所以到 真正行禮時，2人只穿便服，現場約有10名一同赴美的親友和工作人員見證。據知步姐要在3個內向駐美日本領 事館提交註冊文件，才能完成結婚手續。

btw I hope ayu has her wealth protected.......

well uh, congrats to them :) even if her wealth is protected, the guy pretty much got the grand prize lol. hot chick, and showered in gifts.. he's set!

Okay, so we don't know when she will come back to Tokyo, but I hope she can come back in time for Tales of Xillia!

i'm sure Ayu has a prenup or something. alot of people are assuming that they ran off and got married with no discussion, but i'm sure they sat down and talked everything through. :yes

Our girl's not stupid; she had to good sense not to get hitched to Tomoya. What I'm wondering about is how long they've been planning this.

this is something...

Why would they get married in Vegas? O.o

Its easier, they have very relaxed wedding laws. Its famous for shotgun weddings.

:DAyuXMannie...Good love and good luck! ^^ Wishing the best for them...

I know!
:thud

plus dozens of eyes planted on him....I really hope the attention and all that jazz won't change him/get him out of balance of/from being a normal random austrian model/actor.....:tired

Yeah, because if it's in the chinese tabloids, it MUST be true...

LOL i like the way those news articles/videos mentioned how disappointed Tomoya Nagase was! haha

This thread has the best tags :)

lots of ayu's wedding news from the Chinese media but mostly the same

^^but its funny the medias have to put how disappointed nagase is eventhough he did not comment anything at all on ayu's wedding. How do they know he was disappointed since he already has a girlfriend.

so ! this news's true ?!congratz them ! hope they can live happily!
