CONCERNS about COVID-19 have ended sports seasons, seen the AFL play games in an empty MCG, and seen one British pharmacist pull the pin on what would have been a very special day.
After 13 months of planning, Peterborough pharmacist, Melissa Twydle-Sharpe, cancelled her dream wedding, on Sat (21 Mar).
"It was heartbreaking,"she told CambridgeshireLive.
"My dress was ready at my friend's house and the flowers and cake were all arranged.
"We would never have forgiven ourselves if people got sick at the wedding.
"We have protected all the people we love."
With the pandemic causing severe pressure on the pharmacy sector around the world Twydle-Sharpe described the last-minute cancellation of the wedding as "a double-whammy", with the couple losing close to 1,000.
However, she has found a silver-lining noting "the cake tastes beautiful", adding she had frozen it "so we'll be fine if we run out of food".
