Kirsten and Richard Grum spent 18 months planning their wedding scheduled for next April.
After the two felt threatened about the chances of holding the ceremony in light of the restrictions imposed on gatherings in Britain to face the outbreak of the Corona virus, they decided to resort to Facebook to celebrate with 100 guests via the network.
Instead of waiting until April, they got married at St. Matthew's Church in Walsall village last Saturday.
Grom said her husband, "Richard felt that the situation in the UK was getting more difficult, so he brought up the idea of a wedding."
"When the Prime Minister started imposing restrictions [last week], another person told us: Why don't you marry now? We said we spent a year and a half planning a perfect wedding."
"But we knew we wouldn't be able to get married in April, so we seized the opportunity."
The couple hastily prepared for their wedding the new look. Grum was living in a shared house with 12 other people, all of whom were involved in helping to arrange the wedding within four days.
The dress she had planned to wear in April was not ready, so her friends had to find a replacement, and they had to arrange pictures and flowers.
The bride's friends who lived with her in the same house were the only guests of the party, while the others watched the ceremony via Facebook's live broadcast service.
"The people we spoke to so far said that they felt that they were part of the wedding, even while they were far away, and we are really happy that we were able to do that," Grom said.
