With the world still battling the dreaded coronavirus and the lockdown still in place, a couple decided to have an online wedding to give their family members the opportunity to witness their union.
A Twitter user with the handle @KiyaniBba, took to the micro-blogging platform to share ‘the world first Zoom wedding’ amidst the COVID-19 lockdown.
@KiyaniBba, 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”.
