Jamaica to stage virtual destination wedding of the year
Jamaica to host one-of-a-kind virtual destination wedding to give couples a little something to look forward to in these trying times
All India, 13th May 2020: As the world is undergoing a sea of change during the coronavirus pandemic, most weddings have been cancelled or postponed around the world. While one minute the couples were finalizing their vows and ordering confetti – the next, all that seemed to belong to an entirely vanished world.
To uplift couples’ spirit, Jamaica is coming up with something special to conquer love amidst lockdown. In an effort to spread positivity and celebrate love in the time of Corona, Jamaica will host a virtual symbolic celebration for up to 100 couples who have had to cancel or postpone either their domestic or international wedding as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. This will give the couples an opportunity to experience a destination wedding, albeit virtual, at a time when they are unable to hold their own ceremony.
Donnie Dawson, Deputy Director of Tourism, Sales, Jamaica Tourist Board, said, “Jamaica specializes in turning big dreams into romantic realities. This event is a new twist on this promise, and we are excited to be hosting this symbolic virtual wedding and look forward to welcoming these couples when they visit us for their bona fide celebrations, when the time is right”.
The virtual celebration will take place on Sunday, May 17th with the beautiful shores of Jamaica as the backdrop. Couples will be able to join the celebration from the comfort and safety of their homes using Zoom.
