With chinstraps and social distancing, the first couple married in Rosario during the quarantine

When they decided to get married, neither Brian nor Ariana thought that they would do so without the presence of their loved ones, with masks, social distancing and in the midst of a pandemic. But it was so: this Wednesday at noon they were accepted as spouses in the Civil Registry of Salta street at 2700, in rosary beads, and they became the first couple to “yes” in quarantine.

They had a date for March 27, but the decree of compulsory isolation left them no other option than to suspend the event. Although they had not planned a party, they already had everything reserved for their honeymoon in Brazil.

During the ceremony, the couple had to respect a strict sanitary protocol that, among many things, it involved taking their temperature before entering the building; that they had to share the moment via Zoom with their family and friends; and that when they left the place the street was empty, with no one to throw rice at them.

Nevertheless, the couple went down in history and their union was broadcast on all local television channels. The photos and videos of the wedding were shared on Twitter by different journalists who covered the news.

According to what the bride and groom told the press that was guarding the Civil Registry, they met in 2014, thanks to the fact that his parents attended the same church, and there they made best friends.

When Brian let him know his feelings, Ariana freaked out and rejected him. But, little by little, it softened.

“From the first moment I began to attract his attention, although I didn’t like him. We became best friends, and when he told me how he felt, my response was super negative, until in 2016 I corresponded, “revealed the young woman.

During the ceremony they were only allowed the presence of two witnesses, one on each side, respecting the distance of one and a half meters between them. Both the Justice of the Peace and the participants had to wear a chinstrap on a mandatory basis. Although the bride and groom could take them out to give each other the expected kiss of newlyweds.

“There will be no party and now we plan to get together by ourselves,” said Brian after the ceremony.

As reported The capitalFrom today until July 24, two weddings are scheduled per day, although several couples are canceling their dates because they prefer to postpone the union until the pandemic passes.
