Coronavirus didn't stop these same-sex NYC couples from tying the knot: “It’s not about your guests in the end or whether the table linens are the right color,' one of the newlyweds tells NBC News. “It’s about your union with your partner.” - NBCOUT

Fishman and Shirk, both 29, proposed to each other in 2018 after meeting through the dating app Hinge four years earlier. They got married on Saturday in their apartment, with only the officiant and a couple of close friends present. Their relatives were able to join in via a Zoom video call.

Instead — motivated by the uncertainty sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic — they were married by a co-worker in their studio apartment on the Upper East Side on Saturday and took a walk outside together as newlyweds for their honeymoon. Mitch Case and Brian Brown hung a sign announcing their marriage on the fire escape of their apartment.Why the rush to move their wedding date up several years in advance? Case, who works at an arts nonprofit, said they partly came to the decision to ensure that he would have health insurance during the coronavirus outbreak should he lose his job.
