Should I postpone my wedding? The coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on marriage plans worldwide
On March 18, 22 sub-provincial municipalities of Istanbul took a decision to conduct what is called oda nikahı, meaning 'room wedlock', a marriage registry at government offices without reception, celebration or the attendance of relatives, friends or even family members.spoke to a couple whose dream wedding turned into a race against time as soon as the modern plague, novel coronavirus hit Turkish borders.
“Initially, we cancelled the honeymoon first as the virus was spreading in Asia, because Phuket [an island in Thailand] was our honeymoon destination," Esra told"Then we thought we can go to Europe instead but starting with Italy the coronavirus cases were rising there too. So we said we’ll go somewhere in Turkey, but given the current situation here, the honeymoon is officially cancelled.
“That’s a moment parents live for, to witness their children’s big day. My heart sank, this was not destined for us although they are alive,” Esra said. “I can’t deny facing the dilemma in the very beginning. We didn’t know what to do; on one the hand, you do not want to risk anyone’s life for a gathering, on the other hand, it’s your wedding which happens only once in your lifetime and there won’t be repetitions of the occasion like your birthday. We felt really pressured to make the right decision but when all these restrictions were put in order, we just followed the recommendations for our safety.
With the ongoing pandemic, there are reports of at least 6.5 percent of couples cancelling their wedding ceremonies and 28 percent moving their dates toward the end of 2020. A further 22.5 percent are delaying their nuptials until next year, and 43 percent are completely unsure as to when they should tie the knot.
