Weddings are changing more and more as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing. Couples are finding ways to ensure their nuptials continue. Livestreaming is a great option for couples want their guests to attend, but what about couples who still want a bridal party?
This couple from Cincinnati, Ohio, came up with the perfect solution. Autumn Wood and Christian Miller used their dogs as bridesmaids.
“Our dogs Sasha and Oreo were my stand in bridesmaids and although they were very good and didn’t bark at all, they totally stole the show!” said Wood to MetroUK.
Taking place in their back yard, the couple’s wedding incorporated everything coronavirus-wedding related. Their isolation wedding was officiated by Miller’s brother who happened to be isolating with them at their home.
A Facebook livestream kept their family and friends close while the pair tied the knot in their wedding attire and facemasks. of course, Corona beer also made an appearance on the special day.
The couple said they just couldn’t wait until the end of lockdown, so decided that this course of action would be best. While they intended to marry in May, their new date moved forward to April.
“It was perfect – it wasn’t what I planned and it didn’t go the way I had been planning for months but I wouldn’t trade it,” said Wood.
Congrats to the happy couple!
