ON GETTING MARRIED
FRANCES UY
Restaurateur
Not in my wildest dreams did I think my wedding would happen like this. But, it was perfect in its own way. My husband Marco and I decided to get married about six months into Covid-19 so it didn’t really disrupt any wedding plans. Initially we were going to do a small civil ceremony at the city hall, but the more we thought about it, the more we realised that we wanted to celebrate with those who mean the most to us.
There was lots of anxiety involved, especially because we were going to have a gathering of more than 10 people. Thankfully, in San Francisco reliable testing is easy to get, so that gave us peace of mind. A bunch of us took Covid tests in the days leading up to the wedding and I was super nervous that someone would end up positive. Throwing a safe celebration was definitely the biggest challenge. Due to Covid-19, we had about three weeks to plan the entire wedding … ourselves! Yes, DIY! We chose to do everything ourselves to minimise contact with anyone outside our bubble.
