Thousands of couples wed in a mass ceremony in South Korea this past weekend, despite the coronavirus outbreak that has instilled fear in many.
Members of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, also known as the Unification Church, came together to say their ‘I do’s’ at the Cheongshim Peace World Centre in Gapyeongin near Seoul on February 7, 2020. This mass wedding is a popular tradition for the South Korean-based church. According to Reuters, a reported 30 000 people from over 60 different countries were a part of this event, 6000 of whom were getting married for the first time and the rest were either renewing their vows or watching the spectacle.
South Korea has reported 24 cases of confirmed coronavirus. The organisers took care to ensure everyone’s safety throughout the event. Participants were screened for coronavirus symptoms, and people who had recently been to China were banned. They also gave everyone masks to wear, although not everyone decided to wear them.

After weeks of speculation, the Royal Family have officially announced that Princess Beatrice will hold her wedding reception at Buckingham Palace in May this year.
Princess Beatrice of York and her fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will say ‘I do’ on Friday, May 29 2020 at The Chapel Royal, St. James Palace.
“Her Majesty The Queen has kindly given permission for the ceremony to take place at The Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace,” reads a statement from Buckingham Palace. “The ceremony will be followed by a private reception, given by The Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.”
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi join other royals to marry in St James Chapel such as Queen Victoria to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg on 10 February 1840 and the then Duke of York and Princess Victoria Mary of Teck (later King George V and Queen Mary) in 1893.
The wedding is most likely to be more low-key than other royal weddings. Both BBC and ITV have decided not to live broadcast the wedding as a result of the controversy surrounding her father, Prince Andrew.
