Getting married in a time of Covid


As soon as the lockdown was lifted in 2020, 26 couples in Ipoh rushed to register their marriage in October. Postponing a wedding is painful and wanting to enjoy it sans mask when it finally happens is understandable – but if you don’t want the joyous celebration to become a superspreader event in this time of Covid, it’s best to stick strictly to the SOPS, especially of keeping a mask on as much as possible. — Filepic/The Star

Weddings are meant to be joyous things. A marker of a couple’s commitment to each other. A time for all to celebrate – unless you’re part of a planning committee in these Covid times, that is.

I don’t even have an especially big role to play. It’s Auntie who has to carry the largest part of the burden, of course, as all mothers do when their sons get married.
