COVID-19: Couples due to get married postpone weddings, live-stream small celebrations
SINGAPORE: Ms Seow was supposed to get married on May 2, in a small ceremony probably at home. That was a step-down from the originally planned church wedding with 500 guests., with most workplaces shut down from Apr 7 to May 4.READ: COVID-19: Singapore makes 'decisive move' to close most workplaces and impose full home-based learning for schools, says PM Lee
With her solemnisation and lunch and dinner reception events fixed for Apr 4, she and her partner decided to make a difficult decision - to bring forward their solemnisation with just a few people present. Also present was her friend, who used Facebook and Instagram to stream the ceremony live to family and friends who could only watch from afar.“We want to do something for our families still,” she said.While Ms Izzati roped in a friend to provide the livestreaming services, the industry has also been stepping up to provide alternative services for couples who want to go ahead with some kind of celebration amid the strict measures in place to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
The bride’s parents had no objection to them carrying on with the wedding as planned, but because she did not want them to miss the event entirely, they wanted the service, he said.
