Couples derailed by virus get ‘re-wedding’ in NYC

Hundreds of couples whose weddings were derailed or scaled back due to the COVID-19 pandemic got a do-over thanks to a New York City landmark.

The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts hosted a “Celebrate Love: A (Re) Wedding” event on Sunday evening in the pavilion outside the center.

On its website the Lincoln Center called it "a special day for newlyweds, those whose weddings were canceled or diminished, and people who want to recommit their love to their partners and the city we love”.

The event featured a multicultural ceremony, music and dancing. The website noted that the ceremony was not legally binding.
