Lara and Hussam's Wedding in South Lebanon
Lara Haidar, a body piercer, and Husam Jawhari, a hairdresser, invited 3,000 people to their wedding in Aramoun, a village south of Beirut back in November 2019. But a wave of anti government protests forced the couple to postpone their wedding, and the coronavirus wrecked their second attempt.
However Lara and Houssam went ahead with a wedding that had no wedding gusets. It was just the two of them dancing, eating cake, drinking champagne, having fun, and being in love. Even their wedding cake was out of the ordinary and inspired by current events; it had a blue face-mask on it, and beneath it was written: “We Made It Special #StayHome.”
“I wish everyone was here with me. But for their safety and our own, we preferred that it just be the two of us. I hope that people will be sharing our joy from their homes.”
Noha Hamid and Mustafa Amin's Wedding in Egypt
Mustafa Amin and his bride had planned a traditional Egyptian wedding party at a large banquet hall packed in Cairo with many family members and friends. The new CoronaVirus outbreak, however, suspended that plan, with the government declaring a nightly curfew10 days before the wedding date of 4 April 2020.
After a few days of hesitation, Amin and his bride, Noha Hamid, decided to press ahead, settling on a low-key celebration with close relatives on 16 April 2020 at Hamid’s family home in Qalyub, north of Cairo.
