Lockdown: Couple hold online wedding ceremony

Due to the Coronavirus lockdown, a couple decided to have an online wedding to give their family members the opportunity to ”attend” their wedding.

Twitter user @KiyaniBba, who is the younger sister of the groom, shared the story online.

She wrote;

‘Today was my big bro’s wedding. Because of the virus, only the bride, groom and their witnesses were allowed in the room. As the official CTO of my family, I suggested that we set up a Zoom so that our relatives and friends could join us. I present you the first Zoom Wedding.

We had more than 45 people from France, CIV, Netherlands, SA, Calgary, etc. I muted everyone during the ceremony and recorded everything using zoom. People cried during the vows, at the end I unmuted them and all at the same time they applauded and congratulated the newlyweds’
