Although the wedding was held at home, the couple still wanted to have a traditional celebration. Therefore, they scheduled a wedding invitation on April 30, 2022.

But on April 27, just 3 days away from the wedding party, Sam received a positive test result for Covid-19. The couple is forced to make an important decision to cancel the wedding party and lose all the money deposited, or still hold the wedding party as usual even though the bride is in close contact with the groom.

The bride spent about 400 USD for 2 cardboard photos.

Sharing with the “substitute groom”, Mr. Sam said he felt his image on the cardboard was quite funny, and hoped it was larger in size to reflect his true height. real-life groom.

”Unique is the only word to describe this. I was absent from the event, but more than anything I want Amanda to be happy and feel like a bride’‘, Mr. Sam shared.

”I feel really happy because my wife had the best time in this difficult situation, as well as enjoying the party with friends and family. We still have the rest of our lives to celebrate together.” Mr. Sam said.
