An extravagant wedding ceremony was held at the five-star Shangri-La Hotel in Xi'an, with some 80 family members and relatives present, according to Sohu.com.
The ceremony, which lasted three hours, included an exchange of rings, the sharing of wedding cake, and tea and flower offerings to the parents as an expression of gratitude, the website reported.
An estimated 50 security guards oversaw the ceremony, which boasted 20 dinner tables and 5,000-yuan ($676)-per-plate dinners. About 100 reporters also were on site.
"This is the best moment of my life," said Ye, whose wedding dress reportedly cost more than 100,000 yuan ($13,510). "I want to be a good wife and take care of our parents. I really, really cherish my love with Tian Liang."
Tian, the two-time Olympic gold medalist, and his musical bride, a "Super Girl" contestant in 2005, received their official marriage certificate in Xi'an a month ago.
