SINGAPORE - Tying the knot these days is a stressful affair, with plans disrupted by the coronavirus and masks to be worn at all times.

"We had missed the e-mail saying that we would be married at the National Museum so we actually reported there first." Ms Hor and Mr Tang were among 35 couples who had their marriage solemnised there on Monday. An ROM spokesman said it was the first day the in-house civil ceremonies were moved to the National Museum to ensure safe management measures were maintained.

Her grandmother gamely played along, buying a floral-patterned one from a nearby shop. Ms Hor and Mr Tang, a system engineer, later had a group photo taken in front of the National Museum with their families. They were both glad that they did not have to postpone their wedding as"everything else has been postponed", including the Shangri-la banquet they had planned to throw for their family and friends.
