New York
As many parts of Europe face the second lockdown as countries attempt to stop the rapid increase of coronavirus, couples who had planned to tie the knot earlier do not want to wait any longer and have sought refuge in technology to the needful, even if they live thousands of miles apart and cannot be together due to Covid-19 conditions.
Scott Marmon from New York and Augustina Montefiori from Argentina have now become the first in the world to get married over Zoom while living in different countries that are 6,000 miles miles apart.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the duo have known each other ever since they first met in Denver in May 2017, but they have been separated for the past year after Augustina returned to Buenos Aires.
Scott had proposed to his partner earlier in January and was planning on joining Augustina in Argentina in March before the pandemic disrupted his plans.
Unable to get reunited the duo decided to get hitched last week via a Zoom call.
Scott has earlier attempted to go to Argentina to be united with his fiancee in March but flights were grounded due to the pandemic. —Agencies
