In the middle of July 2006, the public and media were shocked by the rumours that Pierre Roland was recently married. The wedding ceremony was a low profile one held at a church in Jakarta, attended only by family and friends. However, the information of the venue and time somehow leaked out on the day of the wedding day; causing the reporters to gather at the front of the church. At the end of event, the family and the guests managed to get the reporters mixed up (thinking that the bride and the groom had already left the venue). A few days later, the couple finally made an official announcement in an interview by two Indonesian TV stations. In the interview Pierre Roland and his Indonesian born Macanese wife expressed their plan on going for honeymoon to Japan. Rumour has it, however, that the couple might go for honeymoon doing either Americas or Europe. The wedding was said to be one of the only very few unexposed weddings of Indonesian celebrities.
