A newly married couple exchanges wedding rings in front of the home of a Virginia state marriage officiant who performs the ceremony while maintaining social distance due to the Covid-19 outbreak in Arlington, Virginia.
“We’ve learned a very important lesson – that any plans you have, you need to hold them loosely,” Chapman, who lives in Texas, told AFP.Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, an estimated 30,000 weddings took place every weekend in the United States. But the pandemic has disrupted the multi-billion-dollar industry and put a damper on the dream nuptials and honeymoons planned by countless couples.
After much hand-wringing, the couple decided last week to postpone the wedding until October, in the hope that by then, the lockdowns imposed throughout most of the country will be lifted and life will be back to something resembling normal. The Michigan couple was set to wed in August with 400 guests attending and had booked a honeymoon in France. But the two have now scrapped their plans and will hold an intimate ceremony as soon as they receive their wedding license.
For wedding planners, the pandemic has also proven devastating, with many bracing for huge losses and fearing they might be forced to shut down. Romero, whose company also organises corporate events, said she expects to lose 50 percent of her business this year as a result of the pandemic and has already been forced to lay off more than half of her staff.
