After nearly two decades together, Michelle Yeoh and her husband Jean Todt are continuing to showcase their love for each other, this time with another wedding celebration.

The 61-year-old actress and the 77-year-old former Ferrari CEO first tied the knot this July in Geneva, 19 years after they first met in 2004, and they recently held a second private wedding party.

The couple held a small casual affair for friends and family at the Little Katong Cafe in Michelle's hometown of Ipoh, Malaysia, with the restaurant sharing several photos on their Facebook page.

The cafe displayed a board with a throwback picture of the pair, describing their love story. They met in Shanghai on June 4, 2004 and less than two months later, Jean proposed to the star.

They finally tied the knot in a private ceremony this July and, as the board reads, "after 7135 days on 17th December, we celebrate with family and friends in Ipoh."

The entire cafe was beautifully decorated with pink floral arrangements and balloons in white and gold, and the husband and wife kept things quite casual and informal. While Jean wore a black and gold graphic tee with a pair of black jeans, Michelle was dressed in a pastel green vest with white trimming, plus lime green pants.

However, what added to the novelty of the occasion was the entire party being themed around Michelle's historic wins for Everything Everywhere All At Once. Several posters bore pictures of the star with her awards, including her SAG Award and coveted Academy Award for Best Actress.
