• Despite living through a pandemic, love will always triumph. South African golfer Christiaan Bezuidenhout decided to go down on one knee this past week to prove exactly that.

    Taking to Instagram, the golfer shared the exciting news, captioning the image “Best decision I’ve ever made. Looking forward to a lifetime with you!???”

    Hart also shared a series of images from the special day, writing “Wow! Blessed to be able to spend the rest of my life with you @chrisbez07 ?

    Amid the COVID-19 pandemic affecting countries worldwide, the Church of England has taken a definitive stance by restricting wedding parties to five people.

    All over the world, people are postponing their big days as governments instill lockdowns and self-quarantine instructions. While people may not have the large event they imagined, they do still have the option of tying the knot, albeit it on a much smaller scale.

    The Church of England has sanctioned that weddings will now be curtailed to the legal minimum of five people. This includes the bridal couple, the wedding officiant and two witnesses.While the two partners may stand close together, those attending the wedding will be required to practice social distancing. The priest will not be required to touch the rings to bless them, nor will they have to touch the bridal couple’s hands as part of prayer.

    The Church is also putting measures in place to allow guests to attend the wedding virtually.

    “Where family relatives or friends are unable to attend given the restrictions on numbering, churches will be happy to explore ways to allow others to join the service, either through platforms such as Skype, or recording the service to send at a later date to anyone unable to attend,” they write. “Where no audio link can be achieved, an order of service could be sent either by email or post.”

    “No additional church personnel will attend the service, for example organists, vergers or sound system operator etc.”

    Still want to go ahead with your wedding but practising social distancing? Why not livestream it?

    Some may think it’s better for a celebrity to marry another celebrity. They understand each others lifestyles and schedules, right? But some celebrities beg to differ, and others are doing a great job at proving that theory wrong.

    Here are eight celebrities who made it official with people who are not famous:

    1. George Clooney 

    Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor finally let go of the single life when he met his now-wife Amal Alamuddin, an international human rights lawyer. The pair met through a friend in 2013 and tied the knot only a year later!

    2. Zoe Saldana

    The “Gardians of the Galaxy” actress married Marco Perego, a former professional soccer play, in 2013. Fun fact about this couple: Marco Perego actually took Saldana’s surname after they married!

    3. Matt Damon 

    The actor is married to Luciana Barroso. They met in 2003, while Barroso was bartending and Damon was filming “Stuck on You”.
