News now Buenos Aires – Argentina (AFP)
After a year-long engagement, Diego Aspetia and Sophia Cugino’s marriage was scheduled for Wednesday with a party of 400 guests two days later, but the complete closures in Argentina forced them to celebrate their marriage online.
“Marriage is one of the most important milestones in a person’s life,” said Diego, 42, an employee at a pharmacy in Cordoba, 700 kilometers northeast of Buenos Aires. “It was not easy for us to decide to give up our marriage. This is in the interest of the group. “
General quarantine procedures entered into force Friday throughout Argentina, and the wedding took place the next day … via the Internet.
The neighbors provided a “Wi-Fi” connection to the couple, who moved to their new home shortly before and did not yet have internet access, and the 400 plaintiffs shared Facebook and Instagram.
“We did not have a banquet and colored cut-outs, nor a wedding dress, but the marriage took place,” said Sofia, 32, a professor of agricultural engineering at the University of Cordoba.
On Friday, Argentine authorities imposed complete isolation until at least March 31 of the country’s 44 million people, hoping to curb the spread of the Coruna virus, which has so far infected 266 people, official figures show, with four deaths.
