30 People Whose Weddings Didn’t Go As Planned Due To The Quarantine

Even if quarantine couldn't stop these lovebirds from saying "I do," their wedding ceremonies do, in fact, look a teeny tiny bit different.

Getting married is a sacred thing. Nobody dares to ruin it—not bad weather, not your grumbling parent-in-law, not even the burnt canapés.

But quarantine has surely made its own changes to how and where newlyweds have said “I do!” From tying the knot with 1-meter distance without permission to kiss the bride to putting up pics of every single wedding guest who couldn’t attend, these weddings are everything but usual.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of the most creative and quirky quarantine weddings that prove love makes the world go round, however chaotic it may be.

The wedding planning and registry resource The Knot reported that the United States had 450,000 weddings scheduled for March, April, and May of 2020. Kristen Maxwell-Cooper, the editor-in-chief at The Knot, told Al Jazeera that even if only 4 percent of couples decide to cancel their wedding ceremonies rather than postponing them, it will still hit the vendors big time.

Kristen explained: "Many of our small business partners, the wedding professionals that make weddings happen, are feeling a strain on their bottom line as couples look to postpone and reschedule their weddings for later this year or into 2021.”

According to this study, on average, American weddings cost $33,900 in 2019, including all the expenses for the engagement ring, ceremony, and reception. IBISWorld has concluded that even if revenue growth for the wedding industry is expected to decline this year, early in the outlook period, revenue is expected to surge as operators accommodate both new and postponed weddings.

#12 We Got Married In April And Just Received Our Wedding Shoot Photos. We Absolutely Love This One

We were only allowed to have our witnesses at city hall, at a safe distance. We livestreamed it all for our original guests. And yes we did have zoom meeting later in the day, and all our friends sent in videos. It wasn't at all what we planned - but we're over the moon that we got married.

And whenever it's possible - we're gonna have our original planned wedding with everyone there. Even if its in a year (or five).

#14 Alicia And Christian Were Already Planning On Small Ceremony With Only Family And A Few Friends, But Their Woodsy Location Of Choice Was Closed And Out Of The Question

So today they got ready at home, eloped in the backyard, then moved to the kitchen for dessert and dancing. It’s not the day they had planned, but it’s their real and authentic love story. It will be told for generations as their family grows—our story began here, in our home, dancing in our kitchen.
