For more than a year, Corey Cooper had the date of Sept. 26, 2020 etched in his mind. It was the day he was meant to marry his girlfriend of three-and-a-half years, Erin, at a Vaughan, Ont., venue surrounded by loved ones, including their kids.
But a few days ago, Cooper and his fiancée decided to halt their wedding plans due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. “With everything going on, we fear that even if things settle down, life will not go back to normal and people will be skeptical of large gatherings for some time,” he said. “As Erin and I chose to be married the same weekend we first met, we would need to push the wedding a year in order to maintain the sentiment.” Like Cooper, many couples are cancelling or postponing their weddings
