While the proposal seemed hasty, the couple sure took their time to get officially hitched.
According to the card, they got married exactly 6,992 days after their engagement.
Lifestyle Asia reported that Jean made quite an impression on Michelle all those years ago in 2004.

“A guy was being rude while trying to clear the stage. So, Jean approached him and talked him down,” she said.
“He’s about my height, and the fact that he could talk down someone bigger than him was my first impression of him — and a good one.”
At the time, Jean was Ferrari’s general manager before becoming the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) until 2009.
He was also the president of Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile — the organisation that oversees the Formula One World Championship.
