With the nationwide lockdown, however, the couple were once again forced to get creative. They opted to honeymoon around the world without leaving their home.
They ‘travelled’ all the way from their living room in Cape Town to Paris, France, Honolulu, Hawaii and Phuket, Thailand.
Take a look at their jam-packed honeymoon below:

With the coronavirus outbreak, many are stuck at home with little to do. In an effort to entertain themselves while still maintaining social distancing, these fun neighbours posed…
Quarantine engagements are becoming more and more popular, and even celebrities are participating. Of course, an intimate at-home proposal is lovely, but if you wanted to have your family involved you may be a bit disappointed.
PJ Bruno couldn’t let it go, he was determined to include family and friends in this surprise proposal to girlfriend, Jaz Zepatos. After being together for three years, Bruno wanted an elaborate proposal, but with the coronavirus pandemic controlling things, he had to come up with a new idea.
He decided to invite his friends and family to watch the proposal live, on March 27. Google Hangouts was his streaming service of choice. Bruno’s mother recorder the proposal in person, while one of his friend’s watching the live stream screen recorded it.
“In the midst of global chaos, Bruno managed to find a way to gather our closest friends and family to create one of the most magical moments of my life,” Zapatos wrote on an Instagram post. “Thank you to everyone who took part in our special day from the safety of your homes. We love you so much.”
This story is not unlike many others at this time. With the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe, many are being creative and finding a way to share their joy with their loved ones who are not physically close to them. While it’s a common story in these times, it remains wholesome and heartwarming, just what we all need.
On her Instagram post you can see the full proposal, and the moment she realises they are being live streamed.

Some couples will certainly not allow the coronavirus pandemic to stand in their way. From Animal Crossing weddings, to cardboard guests and even risking arrest, people whose weddings…
Trying to keep the romance alive while being separated from your love doesn’t have to be a stressful ordeal! There are many virtual options for a great date night.
You’re not alone as many couples around the world are figuring out how to navigate the world of love, while being stuck at home. To make things a little easier, here are some virtual date night ideas to try out:
– Take a virtual tour
Since self-isolation and legally enforced quarantines are global, many facilities have decided to help ease cabin fever by making virtual tours available. Why not take advantage of this while you still can? You can see things from all around the world, with your partner (virtually) by your side, without leaving the comfort and safety of your room!
Here are some to check out:
- L.A.’s Getty Museum
- The Louvre
- The Smithsonian’s Natural History
- The National Women’s History Museum’s NASA exhibit
- The San Diego Zoo live cam
- Tennesee Aquarium’s River Otter Falls Cam
- International Wolf Centre’s ambassador wolves
– Dig Deep
If you’re looking to become closer during your time (physically) apart, answer The 36 Questions That Lead to Love. This little back and forth quiz was published in 2015 and is considered one of the best conversational road maps around. Find out more about each other, by asking questions you never thought about before.
– Distanced Dinner Date
Just because you’re in separate locations, doesn’t mean a dinner date is off the table. You can each get dressed up, grab some food, light some candles and eat together on a Skype call. Play some music in the background for that extra bit of mood-setting.
– Online games
The internet is filled multiplayer games for you and your partner to try out. Explore a new universe together, by playing online together. Some couples have even taken to gaming weddings.
– Watch a movie in sync
Use the chrome extension Netflix Party, to watch a movie together. The extension allows you to connect your Netflix accounts so that your movie plays at exactly the same time. There’s also a chat bar for running commentary between the two of you during the movie.
– Plan your next in person date
If you haven’t already, you can spend some time together deciding on what you’ll do as soon as the lockdown is over. Plan a big, special date to celebrate being by each others sides again.
