Lockdown Wedding Ends In Tears As Couple Are Arrested

-



Married life got off to an unexpected start for a pair of newlyweds in South Africa when police showed up to the party.
They had received a tip-off that the wedding in KwaZulu-Natal was happening on Sunday despite a nationwide ban on all public gatherings because of coronavirus. 
All 50 wedding guests, the pastor who conducted the ceremony, and the newlyweds themselves were promptly arrested and taken to a police station outside Richards Bay.
The whole group is to be charged in court on Monday.
Widely circulated videos show the moment the besuited groom helps his wife into the back of a police van in her white wedding dress, complete with train and veil:

The couple have not yet been named by police or local media.
The uMhlathuze municipality said the newlyweds would be "spending their honeymoon under stringent bail conditions".
South Africa, which has 1,655 confirmed cases of coronavirus, including 11 deaths, is now in the second week of one of the world's strictest lockdowns.
It has seen mobile testing units as well as drive-through testing centres being rolled out. Soon the country will be able to test 30,000 people every day. 
Nothing but essential movement is permitted, and there is even a ban on buying alcohol and cigarettes.
Correspondents say South Africa's response to the pandemic has been ruthlessly efficient.
The lockdown has been imposed for an initial period of three weeks.

What at all is in a birthday ? The Oxford dictionary defines a birthday as the day in each year which is the same date as the one on which you were born. Very simple yet very deep as your birthday gives you a chance to take proper stock of your life to see the progress you’ve made from the last time anybody wished you a happy birthday.
