In times of crisis, there is nothing that we need more than our friends and family, the sense of community and connection. To put simply, love is what we need to get through hard times. If COVID-19 has brought anything good, it is this particular reminder to never take your loved ones for granted.
But inevitably, the pandemic has been packaged with a platitude of challenges. Lion and Paul’s wedding plans were put in a precarious position by the virus. But after much debate, they decided to go ahead with the big event, with adjustments and full precautions, of course.
At this point in time, the government had not rolled out strict health and safety measures yet. Nevertheless, guests were told to wear masks and hand sanitizers were provided at the event, even though sourcing these supplies had been a struggle at one point.
Initially, the wedding was to be held at a church. However, the couple decided to switch to a lovely garden venue at House 1881 to ensure proper ventilation. This change was a blessing. House 1881 was truly a special venue to host an extraordinarily memorable day. The building had formerly been a Marine Police Headquarters and is now a refurbished and sophisticated monument that is open to the public as a hotel with restaurants and beautiful event spaces.
Much like House 1881, Lion and Paul’s wedding day was the perfect opportunity to reinvigorate the old – celebrating with friends and family, a rare occurrence in the age of the pandemic, as well as bringing a new chapter to the familiar love the couple had for one another. Both Lion and Paul had wonderful bands of bridesmaids and groomsmen supporting them as they prepared for their delightful wedding. The spacious grounds of House 1881 provided a soft and calming backdrop for the couple and their friends to enjoy each other’s company before the ceremony began.
Imbued with the sweet and comforting feelings of nostalgia, Lion and Paul became husband and wife under a ring of delicate, pastel roses. Against all odds, the newly weds brought their crowd of friends and family to witness a truly heartwarming moment. Their union represents the resilience of true love, taking the best bits of the past and turning it into something greater and better.
