The pair - known only as Apple and Thomas - had a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony in Batu Pahat, late last week.

 

Shortly after, a fan page on Facebook was opened and quickly began to attract messages of congratulations - from both friends and complete strangers.

 

Within days, thousands of well-wishers joined the group adding their support to the couple's nuptuals.

 

"I wish my family would accept my girlfriend so that we, too, can get married one day," stated Facebook user Tan Mei Qi, according to MyStar.com.

 

She said the couple were an inspiration to her, adding that she would not give up on her own lesbian relationship.

 

Others added that their actions were "compelling" and "romantic".

 

Despite the attention, the couple - both property brokers - have refused to respond to the messages of support.
