First couple legally married over Zoom while in different countries

A couple have become the first in the world to get married over Zoom while in different countries after the Covid-19 crisis separated them for 10 months. 


Scott from New York, and Augustina from Argentina, have been together since 2017, but have been long distance for the past year after Augustina returned to Buenos Aires.  Scott proposed in January and had been planning to move to Argentina in March before the Covid-19 crisis shut the borders. Scott tried to get permission to fly out but was refused because they weren't a married couple and related.

The happy couple tied the knot while being more than 6,000 miles apart.  Their nuptials were the first bi-national virtual wedding since the coronavirus outbreak. They held a 19-hour ceremony over Zoom with virtual guests invited on Wednesday. 

He is now able to apply for a family reunification visa and then they can then be reunited.
