Would this be the Mackintosh who owned Mackintosh & Co.Ltd., Men's Wear Specialists, 16 Des Voeux Road? If so, according to HK Dollar Directory 1935, my father's cousin Lyall Glendinning worked for the company. Thanks to Gwulo I am still discovering family "trivia".

Yes, that's the one. I just checked the 1941 Juror's List (http://sunzi.lib.hku.hk/hkgro/view/g1941/303089.pdf) and found this entry:

Mackintosh, Frederick Alexander Manager, Mackintosh's, Ld. 270 The Peak

Thanks for the additional information about Mr & Mrs Mackintosh, I've added in the extra details to their pages.

Any chance they left any notes or photos about their time in Hong Kong (especially the internment in Stanley)?

There was a similar account of the wedding on page 8 of The Hong Kong Telegraph for 1914-10-27:

LOCAL WEDDING
 
This morning, at 11 o’clock, Mr Frederick A Mackintosh, of Mackintosh and Co., well-known in Hongkong, was married to Miss Mabel Osborne, who arrived in the Colony from Home yesterday by the s.s. Miyazaki Maru. The ceremony took place at St. John’s Cathedral and was performed by the Rev. V. H. Copley Moyle.

The bride was given away by Mr. R. L. Bridger, and Mr. H.E. Scriven acted as best man. A large number of friends witnessed the ceremony, including Mrs. Eustace, Mr. and Mrs. Chapple, Mrs. Dick Bridger, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crawford, Mrs. Carmichael, Mr. and Mrs. Diss, Mr. and Mrs. Paine and Mr. and Mrs. Nicholls.

Similar accounts appeared in the Daily Press and China Mail the next day.
