Neighbors buy food after couple cancels wedding due to COVID-19<\/h2>\n
\n

We all know that a wedding<\/a> is a major event in one\u2019s life that requires months of planning ahead – an opportunity for the lucky couple to gather with their friends and family to celebrate a new life together.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with the sudden resurgence of COVID-19 in Vietnam, many cities have issued orders to cancel public gatherings and events that may attract crowds. That, of course, means many couples have had to call off their wedding, despite having prepared everything.<\/p>\n

But in the case of this particular couple in H\u00e0 T\u0129nh Province, all their efforts did not go to waste. Their neighbors came to their rescue and bought all the food that they\u2019d paid for.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Danh B\u1ea3o and Ms. Thanh B\u00ecnh, from H\u00e0 T\u0129nh Province, planned to hold their wedding yesterday, 6th May. However, on the eve of their big day, H\u00e0 T\u0129nh reported two COVID-19 relapse cases \u2013 both of whom were overseas returnees who had completed their quarantine and had been discharged.<\/p>\n

Concerned about the increased risk of infections, authorities urged the couple to call off their wedding. Despite having prepared and paid for everything, including enough food to satisfy guests seated at 150 tables, the couple happily complied to ensure the safety of everyone.<\/p>\n

Upon learning of the couple\u2019s decision to forgo their own convenience for the good of the community, their neighbors came over by the dozens to buy the prepared food as a way to help them out.<\/p>\n

Within just over an hour, 150 tables’ worth of food were sold out, reported Zing News<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The groom\u2019s father also shared that his family still came to the bride\u2019s house on the wedding day to hold a modest wedding ceremony just between the two families.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to invite everyone over to share the joy once the pandemic is snuffed out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The couple had no doubt been looking forward to their big day for a long time, and they probably spent months of hard work to prepare for the event. It couldn\u2019t have been an easy decision to cancel everything on such short notice.<\/p>\n

We have to give huge props to them for being so responsible towards the community, and we wish the newlyweds all the best in their new life together.<\/p>\n
