Staff Writer, with CNAThe Tainan City Government is planning to give top model and actress Lin Chi-ling (林志玲) 12 items that represent “the seven everyday necessities” as gifts in celebration of her marriage to Japanese actor Akira. Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-cher (黃偉哲) presented the wedding gifts, which he dubbed “a full oxcart of dowry,” to the public at City Hall yesterday. Tainan is the hometown of Lin’s parents, and the city is treating the wedding as if it is “giving Lin away,” Huang said. Huang described the job of selecting the 12 gifts as far more challenging than selecting the candidates for legislator-at-large seats by his party. Recently it was confirmed that the couple would hold their wedding and wedding banquet on Sunday at the Tainan Art Museum’s Building 1.
