With stay-at-home orders in effect across a growing number of countries amid the coronavirus pandemic, these celebrities are postponing their nuptials until they can safely celebrate with friends and family.

There’s no doubt that the current circumstances have brought on a series of unprecedented challenges for couples of all kinds. And although they’ll be walking down the aisle later than they’d hoped, all the matters is that they will eventually say “I do.”

Big Brother Naija’s Kafi and Gedoni

One of our favorite Big Brother Naija couples, Gedoni Ekpata and Khafi Kareem got engaged on Christmas Day, 2019 in a special surprise proposal while vacationing in Cape Verde and they were meant to have had their wedding on the 4th of April, but sadly, the wedding got canceled because of the current COVID-19 situation globally.

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

Princess Beatrice’s wedding is not going as planned, and all indications point to it being postponed this time because of the coronavirus pandemic (the first time was tied to her father Prince Andrew’s scandal and his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein). Queen Elizabeth II‘s granddaughter was set to marry Italian Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at The Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace on May 29. In light of the pandemic, the Queen has canceled all upcoming garden parties.
