The global impact of coronavirus has disrupted life in every possible way. Couples who’ve been planning their weddings have had things suddenly change. However, many of them have found ingenious workarounds to “make it official,” even in the age of lockdowns, social distancing, and more. Birkat Elyon has a long tradition of helping couples find dazzling, affordable cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings. They’re here to help with these clever inspirations for getting married, even during a pandemic. [Naturally, you’ll first want to check with your local authorities on any restrictions].
SHARE IT VIA SOCIAL MEDIA
Many couples are opting to go ahead with a very small ceremony (an officiant and a witness or two, all standing appropriately apart), then sharing a video of the “I Do” via Instagram. Find an open scenic spot, and let your followers know that your #loveisnotcancelled.
USE TECHNOLOGY
The Zoom platform has become a “thing” for folks working at home, but a lot of couples are finding that it’s a great way to share their vows in real-time with friends and family who must shelter in place. This is especially helpful if you have senior family members who might be at risk in a large gathering.
GET CREATIVE WITH THE LOCKDOWN
We heard of one couple who got married on the street where they met. They had a friend who was licensed to perform nuptials and who yelled the vows out the window of his apartment! Other couples opt to get married on the steps of their (closed) church, with a “drive-by” celebration from friends. If you can’t have a big gathering, find fun ways to handle the limitations of quarantine.
USE WHAT – AND WHERE — YOU HAVE
Some couples have opted to don their wedding duds, then head to the roof of their apartment building, or the backyard of a family member. They’ll have a tech-savvy friend set up a “live-stream” of the event. The upside to this method is that more people can witness your “I do’s” than might have been able to at an actual wedding – and that includes loved ones who are infirm or who live too far away.
Naturally, many recognize that the “big” party will come later (and fortunately, many wedding venues are being cooperative on shifting dates). But they’re not letting the shutdown affect their plans to start their lives together as a married couple. The point is? We’re all going through adversity at the moment, but your love doesn’t have to wait.
